While driving down Old Fort Parkway in Murfreesboro today, I got a quick 
glimpse of a crow harrassing a much larger raptor. About all I could tell was 
that it was dark and soared with a bit of a dihedral and that it was about 
twice the size of the crow. The general jizz of the bird didn't really look 
like a Golden Eagle, but it seems odd that a crow would be harassing a vulture. 
(Plus, it seemed bigger than a vulture.)
