Hi Rosemary,

I think N. Goshawks will take a Crow, also Peregrines.  In Calgary we 
once saw a Prairie Falcon playing at chasing Crows - great fun to watch, 
and seemed to be fun for him too!  Probably he could have taken one. But 
that's not here!  I'm not sure where you are living, but it sounds like 
the Gt. Horned Owl is a good bet.

      With regard to my question of what bird of prey might have killed
      a crow on the garage roof this morning...the answer Great Horned
      Owl...fascinated me..&nbsp; I had not thought of that possibility.&nbsp;
      This yard is certainly perfect for owls....lots of large pine
      trees.&nbsp; Has anyone on NatureNS witnessed Great Horned Owls taking
      crows?&nbsp; Are there hawks here that will also capture and eat crows?<br>
