Crow mobbing White-bellied Sea Eagle

on 24th February 2009

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.
