This afternoon I watched a raven (we have at least one pair in the neighborhood) and a hawk (I had no bins but it seemed slimmer than a red-tail and about the size of the raven) flying together, now one on top, now the other, while each called and appeared to assert dominance in turn. There didn’t appear to be actual physical contact but the back and forth went on until they were out of sight. I frequently see and hear ravens in my neighborhood in Forest Hills, a part of Boston sandwiched between the Arnold Arboretum and Franklin Park, two large wooded spaces.
