While outside just now, I saw a Sharp-shinned Hawk fly by clutching a 
somewhat smaller and loudly protesting bird by its talons. The sharpie 
landed on my neighbor's roof. Two crows arrived immediately afterwards 
and approached the relatively petite sharpie, which spread its tail and 
screamed "Back off!" (the meaning was obvious) before flying off out of 
sight with its prey. I guess the crows will have to find their own dinner.
