Title: What you see when you drag near-nature into close-up: Ireland
Post by: Donna on 03-Sep-11, 07:10:00 AM
My wife came upon a brownish raptor holding down two crows in the middle of the road, one dead, the other stunned. A flock of crows wheeled above, making a big fuss. The raptor was slightly smaller than the crow. Could a peregrine falcon knock two crows at one go?   :o

A peregrine could certainly knock one. Two may have been a lucky strike.
