Surprised to see a jay hassling a crow that was easily twice his size.
I've seen solo sparrows chasing crows, owls and hawks across the sky.
In the latter two cases, it looked like a a single spitfire chasing a
zeppelin.
Once I saw crows mobbing a Cooper's hawk (hunts birds on the wing) and
it kept twisting in flight to try to snag a crow.
We were also visited by a large bird (at least three foot wing span) and
ALL the birds disappeared. I rarely see large birds under the canopy. I
try to encourage songbirds, and I use eNature to try to identify them.
