Default Crows & a Bald Eagle

We saw three crows chasing a Bald Eagle in our woods this A.M. Quite the ruckus. Interesting for sure.

Yep.. Almost all birds harass eagles. Up here
Are crows, ravens, and 2 species of gull
That we see commonly.

My current signature shows 3 crows trying
To intimidate an adult bald eagle to give up its fish.

Yup, and Bald Eagles harass other birds, etc. as well. Equal opportunity.

Its quite common to see smaller birds harass much larger ones, as MrsD says it can be to gang up and get the other bird to drop food, but they will harass and mock birds that are a threat such predators or birds that may simply compete for the same food source.

We often watch crows harass Buzzards and then in turn see much smaller birds give the crows a hard time.

And we see all kinds of it where I live. We have many kinds of birds and all kinds of other animals as well. It is nice to watch. This Bald Eagle is not the first that has been in our territory and won't be the last.
