I call the ravens that live around here thugs. The will harass coyotes, bob cats, dogs, and hawks of course along with anything else they don't approve of. Mostly the hawks ignore them except when dive bombed too close. I always know when there is something like a coyote around because of the half dozen ravens swooping and squawking. I put table scraps out for them almost on a daily basis. Lately one of the hawks has learned it can score something. This morning it scored a piece of rib with some meat on it. The ravens weren't happy about that.
