[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 220244, member: 4653"] Chan, I've observed this quite often. First time was with Crows. It looked like the crow was chasing that hawk. Then I noticed it in smaller birds such as the common grackles. I don't having any scientific knowlege on this phenonomon, but my guess is the birds are protecting their nest. Which brings up another question. How does a bird that would be "dead meat" if it were perched on the ground chase away a hawk? Does this mean hawks are powerless while these smaller birds are in the air and can only get their talons in them when they swooped down from above unexpectedly? [/QUOTE]
