Red-tailed hawk

This hawk was sitting on one of his favourite perches, the top of the red barn. Of course, this makes him a very visible target for any passing crow. And sure enough, a few found him and began dive-bombing. It was funny, however, to watch how cautious they were. They'd dive at him, but if he shifted slightly in their direction, they veered wildly and scrambled frantically to get out of reach. You could almost hear them muttering "oh sheesh, that was close!".
