Hi All

I had the occasion to spend 10 minutes watching a similar interaction
between a Merlin and 3 crows. What was interesting was that the crows
were *not* in mob mode. All very casual until the Merlin got tired of
the game and left.

All this almost at ground level in some roadside trees. I just sat in my
truck and enjoyed. No binos needed.
