Rare photos of a brave crow landing and riding on a bald eagle mid-flight

When a bald eagle was flying over the sky of Seabeck, Washington, a fearless crow approached this bigger bird at close proximity which seemed trying to keep it away from its territory, eventually, the crow momentarily stopped on the back of the eagle, such once in a lifetime moment was captured by Phoo Chan, a talented and lucky California-based bird photographer, “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. 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. What made it even more bizarre was that the crow even made a brief stop on the back of the eagle as if it was taking a free scenic ride and the eagle simply obliged…They both flew in different directions and it looked like they became friends. ” Phoo Chan said.
