Ravens are omnivores whose varied diet includes roadkill, rodents, grasshoppers and the nestlings of smaller birds. Since ravens are the largest “songbird” all the smaller birds mob ravens. Ravens in turn mob hawks.

p.s. Ravens also attack bald eagles. This photo is from Orcas Island, Washington. I’ve seen the same thing at Hays Woods.
