Crows do a lot of harassing. Since I don't have any eagles to watch for I do get a kick out of watching the crows harass the red tail hawks that are prevalent in northern NJ.
You can always tell when a hawk is around because the crows make it seem like the Amazon with all the cries they let out.
The hawk will fly around while the crows buzz him and generally make a pain in the a$$ of themselves, then the hawk just takes it to another level (thermals)...occasionally the hawks will let the crows know..ok thats enough and will flip over on their backs and show those talons...it's amusing to watch.

I witnessed two red tail hawks fighting in midair. One had some sort of rodent in its talons and the other one wanted it. The screeching is what got my attention...they were so high up! It was fascinating to watch them!

And hey, a big northern NJ hello to you!

P.S. Crows also like to harrass owls. It's interesting to see an owl flying around in the woods during the day because the crows won't leave it alone!
