The Eagle and the Crow
We have eagles that habituate our lake and it is not unusual to see them on a daily basis. At this time of year, as the crows are considering a new family, it is also not at all unusual to see a group of them harass any eagle that intrudes upon what they consider their space. It is rather remarkable how close they come but obviously they have confidence in their evasive abilities and clearly the eagles consider them more of a nuisance than a threat.
[A bad SOOC image quickly shot when the incessant cawing drew my attention to the lakeside and reinvented through the magic of "artistic" processing, also known as "fun time." There is not a single living creature here (except insects) who happily poses once my presence is revealed to them, that occurring at the slightest sound like the crack of a door.]
