Description

Learn what forty years at the window taught me about backyard birds: https://wendellswindow.com/ Why are crows so terrified of owls—and why do they actively hunt them during the day? I’m Wendell, and I’m exploring the dangerous nighttime feud that turns clever, fearless crows into a loud and determined mob. I’ll explain why great horned owls pose such a serious threat, what crow alarm calls accomplish, how an owl decoy can trigger a lasting confrontation, and what happened one winter morning when the crows discovered an owl in my maple. 0:00 Why crows hunt owls 0:40 The crow’s nighttime enemy 2:34 Why crows lose at night 4:15 How crow mobs sound 5:36 Why crows raise the alarm 6:28 Who wins the confrontation 7:26 The owl decoy trick 8:50 The owl in the maple #Crows #Owls #BirdWatching #BackyardBirds #BirdBehavior #Nature
