When leaving for work this morning I saw three birds drinking from a
puddle in the middle of my street. Two of them were crows, the third
was a red-tailed hawk. Kind of took me by surprise but I gather crows
are rather larger prey than what a hawk will go after unless it is
really hungry.

Interesting. Crows are known to gang up and chase hawks and owls away.
A hawk might not even go after a bluejay, they don't take no flack from nobody.
I found this web page that might be of interest: https://www.birdsandblooms.com/birding/crows-chase-hawks/
Thank you for that article! I was surprised to see the crows and the
hawk sipping water side by side. All I can think is that it's been very
hot and stormy, so there were puddles in the street and they were very
thirsty.
