Owls and Crows..................Oh My!

So today my mom, my little brother and I were out on a hike that turned into an owl chase. I was armed with my camera and I was looking to get a great owl picture. I had heard them hooting before we started this great journey.

But as we approached, the owl started calling even more.  Once we finally saw the owl, we learned why.

I know that crows often times pester owls but I did not know that this many crows would gang up on an owl at once. This was not a short chase. This chase went on for hours and covered a lot of land.

Crows are not considered a predator to the Barred Owl though, just a pesky neighbor. :)
