A week ago I saw something I’ve never witnessed before: 2 ravens that appeared to have their claws locked together tumbling end over end in free fall. They broke apart just above the treetops. I’d read about eagles and other raptors doing that, but didn’t know that ravens do it as well. From the little bit I’ve read it sounds like it can be either courtship or conflict… for raptors anyway. I’d be interested in hearing whether others have seen this kind of display from ravens.
