Forever Wild

18 January 2020

On the Forever Wild trail in Riverside Park, a northern flicker was kind enough to post for me for a bit.

I then heard a clamor of crows and saw a red-tailed hawk alight. The crows wouldn't leave it alone, so it relocated. The crows followed; the hawk moved again. Not only the the crows follow, some bluejays showed up to join the party. Finally, the hawk gave up and left, but not before the crows tried some air-to-air combat.
