Crow vs Eagle

[Rick S]

This Crow absolutely would not leave this 2nd year Baldie alone. It seemed like the chase lasted several minutes, though it was probably 20-30 seconds. 6/13/24 D850/500Pf, hand held.

Maybe the Eagle was too close to the Cow bird nest? My first thought

Could be, though I haven't seen it. It was pretty close to the same place I got the Crow attacking a Black Vulture a couple of weeks ago.

Well captured, always to watch these types of interaction.

Thanks Louis, and I agree. Watching and capturing these interactions always excite me.

Great job - the sequence really conveys the crow's feisty attitude towards the baldie.

Rick,
Great catch, they always like to create havoc, when they can, They are also around to pick up the crumbs.

Thanks Chris and yeah, between the Crows and the Black Vultures, there are not a lot of crumbs going to waste at the dam.
