On my way home Tuesday evening I stopped at the Walter S.
Davis Blvd marsh behind TSU to check on the ducks. However,
more interesting was the pecking order show put on by the
raptors. A COOPER'S HAWK flew toward a tree line that held
dozens of AMERICAN CROWs. When it flew through the trees, a
couple crows took after the hawk as it continued on its way.
Just a couple minutes later a RED-TAILED HAWK sailed by the
marsh. As I watched it fly away, an AMERICAN KESTREL took
after it and dive bombed it 4-5 times before the hawk finally
landed in a distant tree. Then the kestrel flew back to the
far side of the marsh lake presumably very satisfied with
the interaction.
