 It is unusual behavior for a crow to attack a much larger and stronger turkey vulture. Crows are known to mob together to chase other birds like hawks and owls but they oftentimes scavenge together with vultures. I was inside when I saw this vulture fly into my backyard and land on the swing set. I grabbed my camera to take its picture and suddenly the crown flew in and chased the vulture away. I may never see that happen again.
