“On my way in to UCSF today: two starlings mobbed a crow mercilessly, harassing her into annoyed, almost panicked flight across the road in front of me, and on the far side of the road the ruckus startled a red-tail, which took off out of his perch in a eucalyptus tree. The starlings and crow immediately allied to divebomb the poor hawk, which flew off.
“The rank hostility and machiavellian shifting alliances would have reminded me of the blogosphere except that the conversation among the birds was far more intelligent and worthwhile.”
Very well said.
