Media notes
One would clap its bill at the other one which would meet with bill clapping from the other. Then one would bow down and flatten its wings while making hissing/huffing noises.
Observation details
There was such an interesting interaction between these two ravens, perhaps some kind of courtship ritual. One would clap its bill at the other one which would meet with bill clapping from the other. Then one would bow down and flatten its wings while making hissing/huffing noises. They also faced each other and fluffed up their throat feathers. Another raven tried to land between the two, and both bullied away the intruder. Many of the ravens in this small flock of five or six also appeared to be eating the snow.
