We had a huge flock of crows (200 - 300 probably) on our meadow near River Road in Lyme, that had one that looked a little less black. It turned out to be a hawk (probably an immature goshawk) in crow's clothing, who suddenly went after and caught one of the crows as the flock took flight. But then the flock, which had departed, noticed the event and came back en mass to harass the hawk who then lost the prey (who was able to fly away) and was chased into the next state by the flock.
