Not really but it looks like it. The crow was chasing this guy around for awhile and I got lucky and got this shot. :D The crow would keep pulling at the eagles feathers.

Wow that top one is awesome, great timing! I love the second one graphically. I spent several minutes watching crows chase some hawks the otherday, kept wishing for a long lens.

The first shot is excellent, great timing. Looks like natures verison of the space shuttle atop a 747 setup.

In Australia Willie Wagtails are known to harass Wedge-tailed eagles in this manner. The eagle has a wingspan of 2.5 metres, while the wagtail has a wingspan of around 15-20cm :-) !.

Amazing pictures! Great timing!
I think the eagle had a stomach full of the crow's babies.

Awesome !

I stake out where quite a few eagles live and watch as crows do that all the time but have never managed to get a shot like your first picture.

Great shots...just wondering if the eagles or hawks get a little miffed and turn around and make mince meat out of the crows? Has anyone seen this?

Great shots, the eagle still looks so composed despite the crows harassment. Like MrClark321 I was wondering if the Eagles ever retaliate? Great timing.
