A Murder of Crows

Our resident hawk had the unfortunate luck of encounter a murder of crows today. We estimated 30 in the group. They drove him in to the pine tree behind our house and harassed him mercilessly for a good ten minutes until Andrew stepped out to see what the commotion was all about and in doing so caused them to retreat. They can be nasty at times.  The hawk was no worse for the wear and I am guessing he took off as soon as I stopped photographing the remaining crows which soon flew away to find some other poor unsuspecting soul to taunt.
