I put out peanuts, and while I was out there two members of the Gang of Three chased away an interloper. that's the first time I've seen them do that during a peanut payout. as the GoT was gathering nuts, another crow (not sure if the same one they chased off earlier) tried to snag a nut and was chased away again. I suspect they're getting more territorial about food stations as nesting season approaches. it's neat to see their behavior change!

previously when I'd put out nuts I'd get mini-flocks of a half-dozen or so crows, and although they jostled to snatch nuts before other crows got them, they never tried to actually chase anybody away.
now I'm missing the coyotes again... I'd say there's probably some around, just not coming out in the open in daylight where I can see them, but I haven't been *hearing* them at night either. :|
