As I write, there is a seal carcass on the shoreline, visited by TVs. Crows think it's good eats, too and have chased the TVs around when the crows have been there first and then the TVs showed up.Robin Robinsonhttp://robins-chaos.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364686787961129602.post-74370249726610980122010-09-13T22:53:29.433-04:002010-09-13T22:53:29.433-04:00I'm sure Crows can tell a TV from a real threa...I'm sure Crows can tell a TV from a real threat but they seem to feel compelled to chase of large birds overhead.

TVs are benign toward other birds as far as I know, but that doesn't mean they are impervious to a "perceived" threat. I have seen them harassed by red-wings and kingbirds, among others, just because they happened by. The crows are taking no chances!Chris Petrakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05637163831402534158noreply@blogger.com
