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.”


Dummies hate symbols of America, but love eagles. Go figure.

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

Jesus blessed mighty soaring eagle. When will it end?


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

Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

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.
