Crows Attack Bald Eagle Wild InFlight

Video shows crows attacking an adult American Bald Eagle.

It was the end of winter and the birds were starved. The eagle had been enjoying its dinner, which looked like a whitetail deer. The crows attacked and eagle flew away and let the crows eat for a while. Sometimes the crows nosedived straight down. Later the eagle returned.

The crows displayed aerial acrobatics, nose diving straight down with beaks pointed at the eagle. They also attacked the eagle when it was in flight.

These were wild birds

The Bald Eagle is a large bird, with a body length up to 42 in, a wingspan up to 96 inches, and weighs up to 15.5 lb; females are about 25 percent larger than males. The adult Bald Eagle has a brownish body with a white head and tail, bright yellow irises, talloned feet, and a hooked beak.

This was difficult to film because it was both foggy and snowing.

That bald eagle should have jacked all the crows.

@wolf1010 ....Yeah, because the Eagle takes the harassment and being stolen from until he has to unleash his fury on the little bullies.

@RespectMyHate

@Lortagreb Actually the population of Eagles here in Seattle has been noticeably on the increase the last several years, Hawks as well.

[johnmcmns199]

I see this all the time here on the Duwamish River in Seattle. It isn't just the crows, the seagulls and other species harass the eagles as well. The Eagles basically ignore them all. Occaisionally one will get a little irritated whereupon it will roll over on its back in mid flight and present it's talons to the diving crow, that ends the harassment right then and there!

Funny thing is though eagles are going extinct way before crows
