This lovely Raptor was minding his own bussiness when the Crow started giving him a hard time.They were pretty far off,so it`s a heavy crop.

Yep, the Raptors are always getting a hard time from the black and whites. Looks like a Swamp Harrier?

Nice capture ... yep the crows are pretty active raptor hasslers
Interesting shot Kevin.
I've actually noticed the crows doing this. We have a White Bellied Sea eagle fly over quite regularly en route to a colony of fruit bats where he picks out the bats.Quite often a couple of crows will heckle it until it flies out of their territory. The Eagle could just as easily latch his/her talons onto one of the crows and feast on them but it never seems to retaliate at all.

Also frequently seen the ravens hassling WB sea eagle - i figure the ravens are a lot quicker and more maneuverable than the WBSE so can get out of the way. Also the ravens are mostly above and behind the WBSE, out of the danger zone.
Nice shot. Recently saw a Wedgetail be harrassed by a Tree Martin.
