Yesterday, I was shooting a hawk who was hovering in the sky. All of a sudden a crow appeared and started chasing the hawk. As you can see he was not only chasing the hawk but was attacking him. These photos were taken with Canon 400mm 5.6 L lens mounted on Canon 5d markiii camera.

Very interesting action shots, Mohammed! Not an every day occurrence and you were lucky to witness the 'event.'

Nice set.
Crows and even smaller birds such as jays regularly chase and attack hawks and other birds of prey.

Phenomenal sequence!! Were your arms tired from panning so well? Pix are really sharp, particularly given the degree of difficulty!

Bob, thanks so much for your comments. My camera was on tripod so did not feel that situation you mentioned.
