I get a kick out of watching the crows harrass a hawk.
You would think that the hawk wouldn't back down, but the crows are relentless. They will take turns attacking, like wolves or hyenas, so that there will always be one attacker that will be able to strike freely.
And of course you might think that the hawk could seek refuge in amongst the tree branches, and you'd be wrong! The crows can manuever through branches at high speeds. The crows are pretty much the bullies of the bird world.
When a crow comes to your bird feeder, it may feed if you are using corn kernals or peanuts, otherwise they may have follwed their prey and stopped when they noticed other birds in the area.
Although we don't get them in large numbers, you can definitely hear them when they roost. I particularly like their "clicking" sound (it was used in "Jurassic Park for the veloceraptors.)
Heck, I saw a opossum Saturday night while out looking at the full moon. Man, that thing was HUGE, but at least it wasn't a raccoon or a skunk.
