Crow taking on the bald eagle.
I was getting worried about what I could blip today with all this rain. I saw an immature bald eagle out in the trees and hurried out to the deck with the camera and tripod. This crow was attacking the eagle, it went on for a long time. After about a hundred photos and my fingers were getting so cold I couldn't move them (forgot my gloves in my hurry to get outside) I came in. These are pretty much as shot, I lightened them a little as it was pretty dark out today.
I looked up why a crow would attack a bald eagle: This behavior is called mobbing and can be one or a flock of smaller birds. They are usually defending a nest with eggs or chicks. Sometimes they are defending their home territory.
Thank you for all the wonderful comments, stars and hearts on my old car yesterday, I appreciate all of them.
