[cobirds] Mob of Crows or Ravens

Cobirders, I had the pleasure of watching a Bobcat sleep in a Cottonwood behind my house with a dead squirrel resting on a branch just above him.  After an hour or so, the Bobcat decided he was ready for a light meal & began eating the squirrel.  Within a few minutes, at least 150 - 200 Crows or Ravens (hoping someone will tell me which species!) appeared making a major raucous such that the Bobcat climbed down the tree w/ his cache.  Within 5 - 7 minutes they finally dispersed.  It was quite a thing to see and I am continually amazed by nature.

Cheers,
