Cooper MacEwen was sitting in his Grade 8 science class at Summerside Intermediate on Friday afternoon when he heard a thud against the classroom window.

“We all looked over and it was a crow that hit the window,” said the P.E.I. student.

MacEwen decided to look a bit closer and peeked out the glass.

“We saw this owl there and, like, five crows swarming it,” he said. “We saw the owl just sitting there, not moving, not flying.”

Students rushed over and started banging on the windows to get the crows to stop swooping and pecking at the tiny owl.
