While down on the Arm today we spotted this eagle. Look to the lower left of the notch in the rocks and you'll see a partial head and beak of a raven. The eagle had brought lunch there to eat, and the raven was pestering him to no end. My friend even had a shot of the raven picking at the eagle's tail. The eagle left when there wasn't much else to eat.
By the way, it was snowing and 17 degrees when this was taken just in case you wondered what all that white noise was in the photo...

This is about where the raven started picking at the eagle's tail feathers.

The eagle is leaving here. I did get some flying shots, but 400mm plus low light, plus moving target, = not so good shooting.
Jim, what great shots of that eagle... and his lunch! :thumbsup:
The corvus family generally are pretty brazen. The crows and bluejays around here don't seem to bothered by our hawks. Nice sequence.
Beautiful pictures. Well done! Gary is right about them being brazen!
What a wonderful sight!
