Mobbing birds can kill a hawk this way. Great observation and images. Sure didn't know they could have blue eyes!

Not sure if they are grackles, blue jays or black birds but they are ceaseless in their attacks. Almost always happens when the crows are flying alone. Never see it when the flocks stay together.<br /><br />Never thought a red-tailed hawk would go for a woodchuck.

I have seen the Bluejays bothering the Hawks here at times but mostly I always see the Crows attacking the Hawks up in the air and dive bombing them in the trees.
