Rare photo shows crow riding atop a flying bald eagle


Phoo Chan was photographing a bald eagle hunting for food in Seabeck, Washington, when something very curious and highly unusual happened: A crow approached the flying bald eagle from behind, landed on its back and hitched a free ride.

Being in the right place at the right time, Chan managed to click off a series of once-in-a-lifetime photos of the rare event in nature.

“At first I thought the crow was going to chase away the eagle,” Chan told Daily Mail. “I have seen crows harassing a hawk by swooping back and forth in order to drive it away from their territory. I was completely awed to see the crow actually land on the back of the flying eagle.

“It was as if it was taking a short break and at the same time a free ride.

“What’s more surprising was the eagle didn’t seem to mind and kept flying as if nothing happened.”

5. The crow had been bumped from his scheduled Red-tailed Hawk flight.

10. Oh great! Now we have freeloading liberal crows just looking for a free ride on top of the mighty

Jesus blessed mighty soaring eagle. When will it end?


     Someone with a mole go call Guy a racist, because the crow is black.

That was my first thought, after looking at the "picture" for a fraction of a second. And I still think it's a bad fauxtoshop.

But it's quite amenable to being seen as symbolic of idle scavengers catching a free ride on the backs of working American people.
