Hello all, I just watched a crow startle a Mourning Dove out of a Maple tree. Dove flew low to grow and Crow pounced on it and then flew off with the dove in its talons. Another crow followed this into a stand of trees too far away for me to see more. Is this typical behavior for a crow? I have never seen nor did I know that crows might hunt living birds like that.
