I am wildly impressed that they can drive away crows.<BR/><BR/>Mourning doves, well, I don't think of them as the brightest lights of the bird world. More like the English Setters of the bird world (sorry Tara!)Knatoleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809822081515082096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685986.post-18896022784347230152007-05-22T13:30:00.000-04:002007-05-22T13:30:00.000-04:00What's funny is that I keep seeing a hummingbird c...What's funny is that I keep seeing a hummingbird chasing that same crow away from the tree. How come the tiny little hummer can intimidate the crow, but the doves don't even try?<BR/><BR/>I actually like crows, too. And last week I got to witness a really spectacular mobbing by a zillion crows who must've spotted a hawk or something on top of the library.Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00810410093850033976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685986.post-91846582514477384532007-05-22T09:27:00.000-04:002007-05-22T09:27:00.000-04:00Dephal, what a sad, sad story!!

The blackbirds are nesting in there and I know they are whalin' on the crows to keep them from stealing their eggs. I like crows and ravens a lot, but what they do to other birds is not always pretty.<BR/><BR/>Poor little mourning doves...Knatoleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809822081515082096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685986.post-84357834618861852062007-05-21T14:01:00.000-04:002007-05-21T14:01:00.000-04:00Oh and I forgot to mention that the pictures are j...Oh and I forgot to mention that the pictures are just excellent.

Last week was tragic--I spent the entire morning watching a crow steal their eggs, one by one, and couldn't do anything about it. :-( Of course, I couldn't possibly work, either, with the drama going on outside.Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00810410093850033976noreply@blogger.com
