I've never seen anything like it! Yesterday morning as I was looking out
our back windows, I noticed a crow flying at an odd angle, steeply
upward: It was clearly after a small bird which was trying hard to get
away. Both of them disappeared out of sight to the west, but the crow
was soon back with the bird in its beak. The crow landed in the snow in
our backyard, and I could see it had a male House Finch, still flapping.
The crow renewed its grip several times, then flew off with the finch
before I could get a photo.
