Interesting Fred. I once watched a small flock of crows joined by a Red-shouldered Hawk harassing a Great Horned Owl as well. This was at Layhill Park in Mongomery County. The owl flew into a thick cedar tree, followed by the hawk. The owl exited a short time later and flew off into the woods.

his AM Jane followed an especially raucous "murder" of crows down our 
loodplain to its focus. In the mob were some Red-shoulders - not as targets of 
he crows, but allies! Then she spotted the answer to the mystery.
Yard bird 117 -  Great Horned Owl.

 Few migrants come thru our area, so we cherish our residents all the more. One 
f our favorites was the local Barred Owl, which we often heard at night. But 
e've missed him since last October. Also, we've missed our friendly 1st yr 
ed-shoulder, which would fly across our yard every day all winter. At the same 
ime, we do hear mobs of crows from time to time, as if those 2 were still being 
targeted - but where are they?
