[cobirds] A Murder of Crows (or by...) - Denver County

Dear COBIRDS,
Yesterday afternoon Lynn Willcockson e-mailed me the following:

"About 20 minutes ago I witnessed a Crow attack a Grackle and kill it.  The Grackle was hopping around on the ground and the Crow flew down on top of it.  There was a struggle but the Crow won.  After the Crow flew off I checked and the Grackle was still breathing but not able to move."
 
"I have never seen this sort of behavior before or even heard of it - have you??"   Lynn

Has anyone had any similar experiences?

Thanks, Chris

P.S.  Lynn added, some people have said to me — "Can I borrow your Crow to take care of the Grackles in my yard?" :-)
