The Alarm

I was out on a walk with Ben and Charlie this morning. During the walk I heard a commotion, crows sounding an alarm. I looked around seeing nothing when suddenly an American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos) went streaking by to the north. I look around trying to determine what the crow was fleeing from, when far off to the south I spotted a red shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus) on the hunt. Other, smaller, birds were moving away from where the hawk was hunting as well.
