Bald Eagle & Crow Dogfight

[Guyzerr]

Withing the last week the crows have been leaving their nests and the parents have become very protective. This adult is one of them...

and very nearby are a pair of Bald Eagles. This would be 1/2 of 'em....

The crows are no match for the eagles but do pester them to no end. It's an ongoing battle that can be quite entertaining....

Long distance shot...........

Close in shot...

Going in for the kill.... not likely....
