Crows and other black birds really do not like raptors. They will raise a huge ruckus at them and make close flybys trying to chase them off. A lot of time it works as the bigger bird just gets frustrated and leaves.

Yesterday two crows decided they didn’t appreciate this young Bald Eagle’s presence. They flew at it and cawed incessantly trying their best to get the eagle to leave. It however simply ignored the noisemakers and eventually the crows gave up. The interaction was a lot of fun to watch.
