toaster Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 yesterday afternoon @ my parents near scott and niagara, i heard a commotion in the trees. saw a few crows hassling what i thought was a hawk. when it moved to a closer tree i could see its horns. they irritated it to the point it took off heading south, with them chasing it. last time i saw an owl was 20 years ago salmon fishing at dusk in the old canal, nevermind in the suburbs during the day.

FishingNoob Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Good for you for scaring the crows away. I don't like crows very much... But I did learn on the nature of things that crows are smartest birds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChefMick Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I live on the foothill of the"mountain" near kings forest, most nights when I come home from work I can hear what I think is a hoot owl just across the street in the trees. when I take my boy on hikes to the falls and up on the escarpment, I can find tons of owl pellets especially near pine groves. 'tis a beautiful sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 We have a very nice red tail hawk visiting our yard , a few times this winter . He/she is eyeballing the birds at the feeder but we haven't seen one of the birds get caught by the hawk , yet . The doves are an easy target .....very slow to react when the feed from the ground , very easy target . When it comes to sounds , I like the loud sound coming from the wings of the swans when the fly past you ........would love to capture them on video , but never fast enough to get the camera ready to shoot......or catch them on that #%&@# screen !

Horrorshowrot Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 My wife and I were on the way to her parents house in Beamsville and a hawk came barreling down at the windshield about a foot away from the car it veers to the right and grabs a mouse. Was probably the coolest thing to see, I have never seen one actually dive for its prey before, only on tv and youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanook Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I have seen the Crow and Owl battle before myself. One early morning Bass fishing on lake Eugenia, I witnessed two Owls being pestered by a bunch of Crow on a downed tree a ways back in the bush. One Owl had both wings outstreched and was apparrently sheilding his/her mate (couldn't tell the difference between a male and female) from the barrage. The wingspan was incredible. We didn't even know there was a second Owl until we drifted past and were able to see behind the first one. One of the most awe inspiring moments I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing while fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
