A Murder in Action

I caught a Murder of Crows after a Redtail Hawk.
He waited them out and got away.
Here's the Action shot with Nikon D600 w/ Tamron 150-600mm Lens
f/8
ISO 800
1/500 sec.

I'm missing something here. Either I'm stupid or this doesn't make sense.

I've seen this quite often. The crows or other small birds give away a hawk's hiding place. Nice series and interesting captures.

Wow, Vicki. You've got better eyes than I do. Thanks for the bird lesson. :-D

Sorry, the Redtail Hawk is partially hidden in the pine tree and the Crows are making his life uncomfortable. A flock of Crows is called a Murder.

Thank you Vicki, it's always interesting to watch the conflict between the 2 birds.

Okay, now it all makes sense. I didn't see any crows getting murdered. :lol: :oops:
