I saw the same thing in the air over the state police barracks on Route 13 this morning. Three crows were mobbing a raven. I couldn’t watch for long, because I was driving.

A raven was being mobbed by about a half dozen crow. The raven was making what I can only describe as a "help me" call. A sad, plaintive sound, almost a mewl. Three more raven showed up and the crows decided it was a good time to move on. The whole thing took maybe a minute or two. Guessing it was a youngster without much confidence as yet. This was at the intersection of Dubois and Krums Corners road in Ulysses, where the raven have nested in the tall fir trees there in years past. Very interesting.
