Then crows immediately started attacking the hawk.
An edhat reader captured video of the battle, see it below.

Thanks for this; good to know Crows aren’t discriminatory towards whom they pick on… BTH: I was rooting for the Squirrel the whole time, so thanks for ending it when you did.
Nature’s pretty cool!
oh come on! took me like 20 minutes to type all that & of course I misspelled “To Be Honest”, you’ve got tot be kidding me…pfft!
Nature can be cool but also cruel.
Torturous — I was hoping the raptor would take out a neck vein, anything to speed it up. Great quality video, thanks for sharing. (I hope a raptor gets my local squirrel before it strips the tree of loquats like last year… But I’ll share, I have no choice!)
