I had 3 Crows at my feeder eating hulled sunflowers this morning when suddenly one grabbed a mole! The crow killed it flew up in a tree and was being harrassed by his 2 other friends. Never saw that before.

Crows are active daily in the neighborhood but usually avoid coming into the yard. By the way, when I'm walking my dogs in the neighborhood and see them I always say hello. ("Hey, Corvid" specifically). They don't seem to like it very much but according to the research, I bet they remember. I often think of "The Kestrel's Eye" and wonder what we humans and our canine companions look like to them.
