Default Re: Hawk vs dove vs Jack Russells

Cool!

About 6 months ago I saw what I thought to be a perigrine falcon walking to my car at work. Who knows, could've been a hawk?

This thing was attacking a small bird and the little bird was screaming bloody murder! Tweeting his little butt off and all! The big bird was on the ground holding the little bird down and clawing and pecking him. When I walked up he flew about 10 yards away and sat back down behind a tree still pecking and clawing at the lil bird. I snuck up behind the tree and popped out. When I did, the little bird made his getaway, but the big bird was right on his tail feathers! Lil bird was flying a zig zag pattern trying to shake this large predator. They both flew into a holly tree and apparently the lil bird was able to hide b/c the big bird flew to another
tree shortly thereafter.

You should have heard the terror in the lil bird's tweet. It was excrusiating 8)
