Sneaky Crow Hitches a Ride at the Back of a Bald Eagle

Remember the fantastic moment when a baby weasel decided to hitch a ride at the back of a woodpecker? The rare sight was luckily caught on camera and the unbelievable images certainly took the Internet by storm.

This time, stunning photos of a crow getting a ride at the back of a bald eagle is making rounds on the Internet.

California-based bird photographer Phoo Chan was at the right place and at the right time when he photographed the incredible moment a crow lands and rides the bald eagle.

According to Chan, the bald eagle was hunting for a meal when the crow suddenly landed at the back of the flying eagle. Initially, he thought that the crow was going to harass the eagle because of its known aggressive behaviour towards bigger raptors. Surprisingly, the crow didn’t do anything that bothered the bigger bird, while the eagle didn’t seem to mind what’s happening.

Chan explained: “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.”

Eventually, the two decided to parted ways and fly in different directions.
