Hi everyone. I was walking around Lake A. today between 9:15am-12:15pm. Sighted the following at the East end of the lake:
Crow cawing up a storm then I saw the Sharpie nearby! These 2 chased each other for 10 minutes from tree to tree and branch to branch, making all sorts of sounds and dive bombing each other. I guess the Crow was finally fed up and cawed for back up - 2 more Crows appeared. All 3 Crows were going after the Sharpie but he was determined to get the first Crow. Fighting continued for another 10 minutes! Finally the hawk flew away. All 3 Crows decided to swoop down to the paved trail to eat some shelled peanuts that I was feeding to the squirrels.
Apparently people at the lake have sighted a Sharpie having a gull for lunch and a male RWBB for breakfast.
Other sightings:
Canada Geese
Cardinals
Golden-crowned Kinglets (1m, 4f)
Gulls
Mallards
Red-breasted Nuthatches
Sparrows
