Debbie and I observed something interesting yesterday while at Vibert Rd. A small flock of about 25 starlings, flying in their graceful and coordinated way were going after a red tail hawk. I don't know if this is common, but it's the first time we've seen it. The starling mob was flying straight at the hawk, then circling it and then flying off a short distance before making another pass at the hawk, the whole time maintaining their formation. Actually kind of beautiful to watch!
