Corvids often mob to harass owls during daylight. Usually, the owl is roosting and doing nothing to bother the corvids, and then a corvid comes and spots her and then caws both to harass her and to call his colleagues to help in the harassment. Eventually, the owl gets enough of the cawing and flies away. Usually, they don't harm each other, it's just a harassment, still it's a harassment from the corvids against the owls. Corvids do this because they feel threatened by the presence of the owl near their claimed territory. They believe the owl will eat their eggs or their crowlets.
If you like corvids you definitely have to read children of memory, though that is the third book in the series so you first have to read the first two sorry...

Every corvid is gangsta until they're awakened by a majestic and vindicative Bubo bubo and the shadow of her 190cm wingspan.
(This person is sided with the owls in the owl vs corvids strife)
