context: i live on the left side of a duplex; the right side will be referred to as "DN" (duplex neighbor), the neighbor by the right duplex / my right neighbor will be referred to as "RN", and the left neighbor will be referred to as "LN"

The crows HAVE killed a starling already (i unfortunately watched and heard that happen), and the crows dive bombed a tree causing mourning doves and sparrows to scatter (this was an hour after the previously mentioned starling incident). This happened across the street.

The sparrows sometimes fight the starlings, but not often (probably due to the size difference). Usually in the backyard.

The starlings bully the sparrows at any given moment and seem to avoid the crows. They are seemingly running a food monopoly. Shoutout to the starling that mimics the calls of geese and a red tailed hawk screech.

The robins, ravens, and hawks do not play any visible part in the war rn, probably because they're rare around here.

The sparrows seem to take advantage of the distracted bees and swoop and eat them.

The mourning doves seem to not play any part and are overall peaceful from what i've witnessed, although i've rarely heard distressed calls from them and i assume its the crows doing the attacking.

Eggs have been knocked out of the dove nests between my house and RN's house.

There was a rabbit nest mass casualty event yesterday, had to rescue an injured baby bunny and hand it over to a rehab center.

The carpenter bee colonies are mainly fighting one another

The bumbleebee and leafcutter bee colonies occasionally get dragged into the mess

The mining bees actively engage any carpenter bee and anything that looks like carpenter bee adjacent ON SIGHT (i've watched bumblebees catch strays from the mining bees)

Do not know what part the great black digger wasps (Sphex pensylvanicus) play, i've only seen them today, so either A) there is a colony of them that got disturbed by the mining bees or B) they're here to feed on the wild Bishop's Lace around the area

I noped tf inside when i saw the wasp.

The sweat bees have not seemed to engage in the war, they just come and go

While trying to get my cat in the house today (she was hiding in a bush located in RN's garden space between the duplex and their house), I had to step over a small bush, and i got approached by an angry leafcutter bee. They have approached me numerous times and i have no clue why, involuntary acting as a startled deer usually seems to make them disinterested.

There were three colonies of carpenter bees, but "#2", as i named them, the colony that also nested in our house alongside #1, are seemingly gone. #3 seems to nest in LN's roof.
