And the reluctance to leave the area. It makes sense. Stupid crows.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00095923329228077680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2823742146942534488.post-32382881583506052532012-03-20T04:33:07.163-07:002012-03-20T04:33:07.163-07:00I've seen this kind of thing at Point Pinole w...I've seen this kind of thing at Point Pinole with the crow and a red tailed hawk. it's the time of year for nest raiding.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10544433509775586916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2823742146942534488.post-32553295401818193062012-03-10T15:29:52.020-08:002012-03-10T15:29:52.020-08:00Zippinknits - your second comment got deleted on t...Zippinknits - your second comment got deleted on the blog but I had the comment in my email. Yes, I wondered if the crows were protecting their own nest, it did not occur to me that they may have been robbing the Kite's nest in the top of that tree. I expect the Kite has time to make another nest since it is still early in Spring. Crows are nasty. Have a good day!<br /><br />zippiknits has left a new comment on your post "Bad Day For A Kite":<br /><br />Sorry about that, Franco. I meant to say that those are great photos!<br /><br />and also to say:<br />Crows are nest robbers, too. I hate to see them mobbing any other bird.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00095923329228077680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2823742146942534488.post-59564397164533175982012-03-09T21:04:15.291-08:002012-03-09T21:04:15.291-08:00I've seen one of those pictures.
