Hi,

A photographer friend sent me this the other day - thought I'd share it
with NatureNS.

Hi Richard:

Just had to share this story with you....

Last week I was walking our dog past a neighbour's yard and heard a
commotion.  I turned and saw a crow (raven?) attacking a small Woodpecker...

The woodpecker managed to escape and flew directly toward me, a little
unstable and chirping the whole time.

It then flew right by by me and almost across the road, when a merlin come
out of nowhere and snatched it up in midair & up out of sight.  No more
chirping from the woodpecker.

The whole event took about 5 seconds: I was dumbfounded, alone, and amazed.

Thought you'd like to know!

Happy Holidays...

Gerry
