Mutual Aid
Murder of crows
launch from a treetop
Dart as one,
mob pursues
Red-tailed hawk ascends higher altitude
Crows circle
defend territory
tailgate intruder,
Hawk screams kee-eeeee-arr
soars higher up,
flying away

Love how the title brings it all together.
Thank you, Sylvia, for your encouraging comment. Lets me know my choice of title was successful
I’ve noticed this dynamic, too. what is the issue that crows have with hawks anyway
Interesting, Gaby. I sense that crows drive threat of natural predator away before it attacks.
Love how deeply you create a richly dynamic scene in a very compressed manner..
Thank you, Shaun. Your words of encouragement mean a lot to me
