Hawk vs. 2 Crows

fotografia · May 19, 2005

This was shot right outside my window.. about 30 feet away. Hawks are bad ass.. the hawk had a pigeon in one of its talons, and the battle lasted about 10 minutes until the crows were run off by the hawk. :hail:

Here are some more shots, linked:

Wow, fotografía! These are cool! What scenes you get to see right outside your window!
I like the last one best, this "Look Back In Anger" - well, not quite so, but he looks pretty miffed by the disturbance of the craws, yet quite proud at the (for him positive) outcome of the fight.
All the hawks I ever get to see (and there are many in the surroundings!) are from very far away... Not that I would particularly ENJOY to see a hawk feed on a pigeon...! But that is part of nature...
