Crows and Their Predators

Crows face various predators, with both aerial and terrestrial threats. The peregrine falcon, although similar in size to crows, primarily hunts larger prey but could potentially prey on a crow if the opportunity arises. Owls, particularly the great horned owl, pose a significant danger, especially during the night when crows are roosting and off guard. Additionally, non-flying predators like raccoons and coyotes can also target crows, particularly their eggs or juvenile birds, showcasing the diverse threats that crows encounter in both urban and rural environments.
