"And I Will Lift You Up on Eagle's Wings..." Turns Out That Song Was About a Crow
Talented California-based photographer, Phoo Chan, whose work has been featured on National Geographic multiple times, just captured something extraordinary...and bizarre...extraordinarily bizarre.
On one of his normal wilderness photoshoots, Chan captured a series of high-speed photos of a crow landing on a scouting eagle's back. The images are remarkable by themselves, but the fact that both were completely peaceful make them even more so.
According to Chan, “Crows are known for aggressively harassing other raptors that are much bigger in size when spotted in their territories... 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...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."
