This image by Colleen Goh a.k.a. damselfly shows a single crow mobbing a White-bellied Sea Eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster).
Crows are notorious in their boldness. They have been known to dive-bomb dangerous predator like hawks, eagles, kites, owls and even people. Screaming loudly, a few will mob a potential predator, taking turns striking it with force.
See our earlier posts on: harassing kites, attacking a kite and mobbing predator birds.

Pictures like these help give prospective on the size of large raptors. What type of crow is it?
Anybody willing to hazard a guess?
