Then a 2nd RSHA flew in. Then both birds helped the crows 'escort' a RTHA out of the area. Is that unusual? Shoulders teaming up with crows to mob a tail? I don't think I've ever seen it before. My first thought was that the crows were upset about the 1st RSHA and the 2nd came to his/her rescue. Didn't see the RTHA until he took off. I think we may have the RSHA nest here this year. Good bird for my block.
