[Andrew Mandelbaum]

I just watched a bald eagle attacking a seagull in the cove. It dove repeatedly and each time the gull would ball up in the water and avert disaster. When it seemed like only a matter of minutes until gull-death, three crows left the trees a few hundred yards away and began swarming around the eagle. For ten minutes, and maybe twenty more diving attacks the crows thwarted the eagle, crashing into its flight path and screaming their crow throats out, until the seagull reached safety. And then they returned to the trees leaving the eagle sulking on a wire. It was pretty cool. I like seagulls and crows.




I know... the eagle has to eat but it was still wild.
