Last week during a stop at Mill Pond Park, I looked up and saw an American Crow (
Corvus brachyrhynchos) harassing a Cooper's Hawk (
Accipiter cooperii). As the pair flew past, the crow dove several times after the hawk. Copper's Hawk's are a predator that specializes in eating other birds and while a crow is probably a little too large for the hawk to handle, crows take no chances and routinely harass any and all hawks they see.
