My neighborhood Crows don't play when it comes to Hawks and Owls - they mob them immediately on sight.

They're the best guardians. They or the Jays always notice them and sound first. The crows and Purple Martins then mob them and run them out of sight. Hawks can't deal with the martins in flight. Martins fly too high and are way too agile. If one lands in a tree the crows will pester the shite out of it until it leaves.

So far this year I haven't had to put up decoys to distract the crows from the purple martins. Hope it stays that way because hawks have been a problem for the past three years.

We have had this bird garden since 2014 and this is the first time we picked up a Hawk or have seen an attack.
