A while back I mentioned that Red-tailed Hawks are not often seen over the Museum’s outdoor areas during the summer months. Its not quite summer yet, but trouble is already brewing for the big red-tails.

Crows seem to delight in harassing any hawk or owl they come across, especially during the nesting season when the crows are raising their young.

The crows are brazen, but they’re not dumb, and these two gave up their pursuit once the hawk left “their” airspace.
Keep your eyes to the skies!
