Common Raven (Corvus corax) teasing a gull (Larus spp) - series by Sandra Gilchrist
According to the photographer, the raven eventually left and the gull seemed no worse for wear after the interaction.
The gull is a first winter Thayer’s Gull (Larus thayeri).
Thank you for the ID! I’m still at the stage where first year gulls make me throw up my hands in frustration.
Thick Billed Raven
The Thick-billed Ravens and the related Common Ravens have the distinction of being the largest of the Passeriformes (perching birds). Like many corvids, the thick-billed raven is capable of vocal mimicry; however, this behavior is rare in the wild, and is normally recorded only in captivity.
