Clever Crow Spotted Hitching A Ride On Flying Bald Eagle’s Back
Okay, let’s be honest, who wouldn't want to fly on the back of an eagle anyway? That idea just sounds so tempting and clearly this brilliant crow also thinks so. The mischievous critter was spotted enjoying a free ride on a bald eagle’s back and the funny thing is, that eagle itself did not seem to mind at all.
Apparently, the angry crow did prepare for a fight. But for some reason, it simply had no idea what to do next after landing smoothly on the big bird.
According to McGowan, the bald eagle's nonchalance is completely understandable either. As the largest predatory birds, eagles are always harassed by other birds and they actually don't think of it as a big deal. Just like McGowan stresses, it just feels like they are "being followed by mosquitoes".
"Crows are known for aggressively harassing other raptors that are much bigger in size when spotted in their territories and usually these "intruders" simply retreat without much fuss," says the bird and nature photographer. "However, in this frame the crow did not seem to harass the bald eagle at such close proximity and neither did the bald eagle seem to mind the crow’s presence invading its personal space."
