The raven fussed at the eagle but was ignored. The raven finally got up all his courage and jumped at the eagle --- and the eagle left. The raven all but beat his wings against chest after that.

I believe it. They are strange birds. Most other birds have the sense to fly south for the winter, but ravens gather here in the winter. We hardly ever see them in the summertime, but in the winter, when we're below zero, they are thick.
