Crows Attack Juvenile Great Horned Owlet

When the crows really mob one of my local owls it isn’t that hard to notice. Yesterday afternoon one of the Juvenile Great Horned Owlets was having a bad afternoon, which I heard while reading on my living room couch. I hiked 2/3 of a mile over to the source of the attack in the forest, and it was still in progress! In this short video, one of the crows makes an appearance which is when one realizes just how close the crows get to the owl. (video link for email subscribers)

And some images … all taken during the crow attack, from two different vantage points.
