This seemed to embolden the crows even more. One perched just a couple of feet away. As the owl twisted around to nip at it, the branch he/she was sitting on started to crack. He/she slid down in slow motion to the next lower branch as the one she was on tilted more and more until it broke. I think I could hear all the corvids laughing.
