Yesterday morning I observed about 50 crows mobbing a Great Horned Owl on a nest. It made me wonder if the crows could make the owl abandon the nest with repeated harassment, or if they would just give up after a while. I had an appointment so I couldn't stick around too long, but did watch this behavior for over 20 minutes non-stop. The owl was still on the nest today.
Any thoughts on this? Mona Bearor So.
