Hawk and Crow

Hawk and Crow

A little brush with in-the-raw nature today.

I was walking down to get some groceries at Vallarta, our neighborhood market, when I noticed a small flock of crows dive-bombing a hawk perched on the roof of a cell-phone shop.


The crows were giving the hawk a very bad time and he looked quite frustrated--but the crows took care to attack him from the rear and to stay out of harm's way!

This was right above a very busy intersection with plenty of traffic.

Nice to see a little 'nature" mixed in with all the human activity--even if it was a dust-up between bird species!

When I paused to snap this photo, the crows retreated to a nearby eucalyptus tree to observe--they didn't return to the attack until I walked away.
