I have about six crows coming by at least three times a day, but only very few birds. One crow swooped down and took a piece of toast right out of a red squirrels mouth, but did not attack the squirrel itself. I have seen a hawk take down a crow in flight and dragged it through the woods into a clearing and ate it there. I have never seen a crow killing any bird though. I would have freaked out had I seen what you saw. You just did not know, that crows are capable of killing another bird for food. I did not know either until now and I will be careful tfrom now on when the crows are around.

The collective term for a group of crows is a 'murder', as per a 'school' of fish, a 'pod' of whales.
Interesting.

Romos ... Sorry you had to be witness to such a sight.
I am acquainted with a man who watched his dog tear up two cats. I've always wondered how he could do that. I've always wondered about "the man"
Dark side conversation for sure.

I like crows and ravens are my favorite. They are quite comedic and friendly to me. They avoid those who harbor ill will for them or other living creatures. I enjoy their antics and only blue jays see them as threatening, sparrows, finch, chickens and pigeons behave respectfully toward crows unless those birds are nesting. If you feed crows & ravens regularly they will nest near-by.
