Here are a few observations. Crows harassing hawks. In each case, only two or three crows were at work, dive-bombing or just yelling at the hawk. As previously mentioned, hawks have taken a liking to interstates, and can often be seen perched on branches of trees along them, watching the grass for small mammals that may be looking for food. We saw at least a dozen roaside perched hawks, including the ones being bugged by the crows.
Mockers are famous for doing that - singing away, full blast, in the middle of the night.
You can sometimes hear it up here in the north on a summer night, but the phenomenon is apparently more common in the South. Familiar sounds Speaking of mockingbirds, it may be snowing in Connecticut and 80 degrees in Florida, but the March dawn in the Sunshine State shares some common sounds. Red-winged blackbirds are everywhere it's wet. And of course, there are the ubiquitous crows, though many down there are the smaller, seaside fish crows. There are plenty of herons, egrets, sandpipers, plovers, storks, pelicans, anhingas, cormorants, and other species that make Florida a birder's paradise.
