INTRODUCTION

Dear Ones,

Here is a video with a raven fighting two red-shouldered hawks to get food for its baby.

There is an edited Summary after the video …

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

[Raven fights hawk in the air. Another hawk comes into the battle.]

To warn the raven, I shout: Hawk! That was a warning to the raven of a new hawk coming in.

On the telepathic plane, I get from the raven: I KNOW there is hawk. 

During prior air battles I had twice heard the raven say it sensed when hawks approached from the rear by feeling changes in the air … in the wind … I presume by changes in air currents.

This big sky battle happened a few days before the baby raven passed on.

I think the ravens were trying to get the hawks to upchuck midair so the ravens could grab the disgorged food for their baby.

In Ravenspeak, “Hawk hawk” is a warning. It means “Two hawks in the air … two enemies to fight.”

There was breathtaking footage here, but the action was too fast for the camcorder to focus right, so I had to crop everything out.

Big fight! BIG fight! Two hawks, one raven. Oh, gosh! The raven just got away. Wow, how lucky!

[Raven is perched on top of a telephone pole.]

I say: You’re some raven, now that? Pretty good fighter!

Raven says, while on the telephone pole: Caw, caw, caw, caw, caw, caw!

Caw, caw, caw, caw, caw! [many times]

Then while flying away towards the raven nest: Caw, caw, caw, caw, caw, caw, caw!

I say: The mom went off to find the baby. I think she wants to feed her.

I feel it likely that ravens regurgitate food for their babies in the same way that pigeons do.

I think the ravens are outfoxing the hawks midair by pretending to be about to be caught by the hawks. Then likely the hawks disgorge midair and one of the ravens grabs the food for the raven babies.

That means to me that ravens and hawks share a hunting territory. Likely the hawks are fiercer predators. The ravens get some of their food from the hawks by fighting them, I feel. The hawks really do not want to share.

But the relationship between these two types of birds is symbiotic. The hawks likely kill a larger prey than they can eat right away, and the ravens may take up the slack … just as lions and hyenas coexist in a symbiotic relationship in the African savannah.

At least … to some degree symbiotic … Don’t you feel it to be so? Symbiotic in the larger sense, as two pieces in the puzzle of life in a particular wild habitat.

That is my working theory. But because the baby raven has died, proof of the theory must wait till the next raven egg has hatched.

God bless you all,
And keep you safe,
And be with you
Through all your days.

In love, light and joy
This is Alice B. Clagett.
I Am of the Stars … and so are you!
