About noon, I noticed the crows were making as much noise in front of the house as behind. Went out front to see if maybe his/her mate was also in the neighborhood. Instead, they were mobbing a Red-tailed Hawk across the street. As I walked over, it flew overhead and landed in the same tree as the owl. Being less placid than the owl, he/she could only take a few minutes of mobbing and flew off. Was able to run in the house and get video of both of them in the same tree. From the sound of things the hawk is still somewhere close by.
