I observed 4 Comm. Ravens flying together over our house and surrounding 
area today.  Occasionally one would do a 'roll' or other aerial 
acrobatic manoeuvre.  Suddenly there was a 5th Raven.  Two (a pair?) 
took off together in one direction.  The other original 2 chased the 
intruder round and round in huge circles.  Then 2 locked together, the 
3rd joined in, and all 3 tumbled down together in a big black ball and 
crashed in the woods!  After awhile I saw one Raven fly slowly away from 
the direction of the crash.  Then there were 3 again, 2 chasing 1, and 2 
were missing some primary feathers.  Eventually I had to go inside, so I 
don't know who won in the end, but when they crashed I thought all 3 
were done for!  Wish I could have got it all on camera.
