- Eagle and Raven Behavior at a Carcass shows some of the reactions between eagles and ravens and each other.
- It appeared that the Bald Eagle had about the same reaction to the turkey carcass as did the raven when it first visited it. You can see the ravens reaction in this video https://www.naturebob.com/raven-behavior-carcass
- Of interest to me was how "acceptable" the eagles appeared when a raven fed on the carcass. Ravens can be important to eagles in helping them find food and also indicating to the eagle that the food may be safe.
- For information about their behavior look at /sites/default/files/rmrs_2018_grubb_t001.pdf and /sites/default/files/Kane_et_al-2017-Journal_of_Animal_Ecology.pdf
- Towards the end of the video you can see the feeding eagles mate (a female) come to the carcass and how he allows her to get food. Female Bald Eagles are larger than the males and usually dominant.
