Territory defense heating up?

I was almost at work, waiting for the light to change outside the gate to my university, when a crow chased a raven across the intersection at 8-10m above ground. Chased it right up Lincoln Blvd, but the last glimpse I got, the raven had got the upper hand of the dogfight.

Yesterday I watched one raven chase another over Sunset and LaBrea at about 45m altitude. Another raven was soarcling nearby. I’ve not seen any aggressive behaviors since last fall, so I don’t wonder if there is something about the run-up to breeding season that is bringing about more competition and aggressiveness.
