The intruders generally retreat without creating any trouble. But in this instance, the crow did not harass the bald eagle and instead decided to land on the eagle’s back. The crow even went on a free scenic ride on the back of the eagle. What a showoff right? The eagle appeared to not mind the crow’s presence and was more than happy to oblige.
Even though the two birds were in close proximity, the eagle was fine with the crow invading its personal space. The photographs depict the crow riding the bald eagle as if it owned the bald eagle. Maybe the crow was trying to make a statement that the eagle was no longer the king of the birds.
Despite these photographs appearing to be unique and strange, this is not the first time a scene as unbelievable and rare as this was captured in-camera.
