I was taking a walk and heard a mockingbird making absolutely furious noises that I’d never heard before, and then saw the crow, so I knew something was up. The crow disappeared into a tree for a few moments, and shortly emerged victorious with its prize. The mockingbird threw itself at the crow throughout the entire process in a valiant effort to protect its eggs, but it wasn’t enough.

Isn’t that kind of their thing?
Too bad about the egg. I bet it was tasty, though.
Lol! Yeah, it’s their thing, but this was like their scolding noise except drawn out to be maybe 3-5 seconds long instead of short bursts. I felt sorry for the mockingbird, poor thing sounded like it was just wailing. But I’m sure the crow had babies or a hungry mate too, so how can you take sides when you see it happening, you know?
