So I was driving down Marlboro Ave. off south terrace and noticed something rather large standing on Fountain Ave.,when I got too it, it was a huge bird, with a crow in its tallens. This thing was well over 1.5' tall probably 2' tall, and off white in color. Tried to get a photo with my camera, but when I got within 15' it took off and left the injured crow. Then as the crow made its way across Marlboro it swooped at it twice. Then this guy stops his car when the bird about hit it, backs up, gets out and procedes to throw stuff at this big bird trying to scare it away from the crow. I am just standing on the street trying to watch it eat it, and this guy is throwing stuff at it. I procede to tell him he needs to let nature take its course, the I show him how to use his camera on his phone. This guy says yeah, I might ought to, that thing could peck my bald head. We went our way with this crow in a little dogwood, and this eagle or hawk waiting in the large tree beside it, pretty cool. I came by about 5 minutes later and both were gone. I have seen some big hawks around south terrace before, but nothing this big. Keep an eye out for it if you live around there, as it is an amazing bird. Just thought i'd share.
