I live in Alaska and have a bunch of eagles and ravens around here. They absolutely hate each other. The ravens are constantly fucking with the eagles (and trying to steal their eggs), and eagles will straight murder some ravens. Three were found on a trail near my house with the throats clawed open (one was still alive when the raptor center came to pick them up, but I don't think it survived).
That's so metal. Wildlife in Alaska is on a whole different level. Photographer's dream up there.
Murder murder...
No, it was simply an Unkindness.
Where I live we have a ton of falcons. It's amazing to see one take a crow or raven. They can just grab them midflight, out of nowhere.
