A great horned owl mobbed by crows

This great horned owl was surrounded by noisy crows flying all around him.

 The crows were making a heck of a racket as I entered the forest and headed up the trail. I knew they were mobbing an unwelcome visitor to their part of the forest.

I followed the crows' voices until I found their unwelcome visitor - a great horned owl up to no good, probably there to rob a nest.

The crows called out nosily and flew close to the owl, and he showed concern and even fear, but the crows were no match for him. The owl waited them out.

It was worth it to see this real-life natural drama in the woods and how the owl expressively reacted to the danger of the attack around him as he hunted for an easy victim.
