I recently observed an adult rabbit in a field tentatively approaching a crow
that was attacking something in the grass. The adult rabbit then charged the
crow which flew up carrying a young rabbit & landing several yards away. The
adult rabbit then repeated the tentative approaches and charge, at which time
the crow left the field. The whole episode took several minutes. I don't know
what became of the young rabbit.

Subject: [Bristol-Birds] American Crow
While traveling on the Blountville Hwy in Blountville this evening a crow flew
out of a yard into the roadway. The bird was flying low and as I approached I
noticed it was carrying something. The crow was obviously struggling with its
catch and dropped it in the center of the oncoming lane. I of course had to go
back and see what it dropped. I was surprised to find a young rabbit. The crow
was nearby waiting for traffic to clear.
I witnessed a similar event when I was a student at ETSU. I observed a crow fly
out of a tree top behind the library with a baby squirrel in tow.
Just found it interesting to see a crow with a rabbit.
