Thanks Christy. The owl didn't seem too concerned and the crows moved on after a few passes at the owl. It's on the raptor mission where I meant to put it originally:-)
I love this kind of interaction! Great series! It was probably like big flies around his head...he only needed to shoo them away! ;-)
I'd love this in the Raptor mission, Tom!
Thanks Rieko. The crows bothered the owl for a minute or so then flew off. They never hit the owl, but came very close, and the owl was still in that tree when I left 30 minutes later.
Very nice series, Tom. I hope snowy owls was okay...
