I witnessed this poor jeuvenile eagle being attacked by a mob of crows. Luckily it wasn't a large mob. The attack lasted for about 5 minutes which must have felt like an eternity for this poor eagle. When the trees obscured them I continued walking on the trials. About 3 minutes later, I saw the jeuvenile eagle land in a tree. He had escaped the crows and definitely looked the worst for wear so I snapped this photo of him. It is amazing to see how his feathers look from the attack. I am so happy he survived.

Nature's laws are sometime harsh= survival of the fittest!! Glad you got this unique shot!!!

Thanks. It was so hard to watch the attack and I was truly shocked at the state of the jeuvenile eagle afterwards. He definitely looks like he had been mugged!
