Crow rides an American Eagle

Most raptor species have that same problem. They get harassed by lots of other birds that are defending their territories. I've seen a similar picture, but it was of a red winged blackbird standing on a red tailed hawk's back in flight. 

Are they harassing them or are they just going for a free ride?

 

 

They smaller birds try to defend their territory especially if they have a nest nearby. They don't want the raptors anywhere near their nest, so they'll do stuff like that to try and run them off. 

 

Interesting.Thanks for educating me on that walla

this is not an uncommon thing where eagles and crows/ravens live together...      and I think I can be pretty sure of truthfulness when I say that this did not last very long...      it is not common to have a camera ready to capture it  LoL

 

When I take pictures of this nature I have the shutter set on auto and push the button and it takes three pictures a second till you let the button up.   With the shutter timing set to 4,000th of a second, you get stop action like you wouldn't believe.

 

So the crow could have been there for as little as a third of a second and the picture would look like this.

 

 

Example...

 

 

this is one of my favorite pictures and it looks like I spent a good amount of time setting up for the shot.......    truth is that we were out on that boat for over two hours in the cold rain and the excursion people were getting ready to refund our money for not seeing any whales.    I was standing there with the camera about chest level when the nose broke the surface of the water and I hit the shutter button and just held it down as I brought the camera up to my eye.....    the first thing I saw in the viewfinder was the huge splash of it hitting the water.......    but all the practice I have had in point and shoot paid off for one of the ten pictures it took while bringing the camera up was this one...

So I got to see it live and have a picture too.

We see this all the time up here in the mountains, with both raptors and ravens being harassed by smaller birds. Reminds me of fighter planes flying around and attacking heavy bombers. Interesting to watch the evasion tactics of the bigger birds.

 

Coming into town today I did see 10 raptors within 10 miles, which is a record. Was wondering if that had prophetic significance, seeing as how we believe this area will be a part of the gathering.

 

Luke 17:37 Wheresoever the body [Gr. soma] is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

Rev. 12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

Ex. 19:4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.

I became curious about the symbolism re Christian art....the raven ( there is no crow) which devours the brain and eyes of the dead, was selected as a symbol of the devil who like the raven throws the soul into darkness and invades the intelligence and is gratified by corruption.

Not saying this a symbol of what was seen but a curious analogy.

I think it's a common thing. A few years a go I saw a large bird flying and next to it was a smaller bird, actually I think it was a crow flying near it.

I think that crow is Johnny Winter reincarnated...

Grace to you,

 

Here's a link from Snopes. The event did in fact happen and isn't photoshopped;

Pictures of a Crow riding on the back of an American Bald Eagle. According to naturalists it's a common occurrence that Eagles are harassed by smaller birds.

 

Any prophetic significance here? Maybe it's just a common occurrence?

 

Peace,

Biblically, as well as in secular belief systems, the crow is considered to be the harbinger of death.

 

There are several reasons for this all of which are terribly boring to review.  Generally though the bird is considered to be representative of evil tidings.

 

A crow riding the back of the national bird would therefore signify a harbinger of national death.

 

I don't think it will come as a shock to anyone that there is a general expectation of disaster in the wind.  Disaster for America, that is.

 

I believed for a long time that it could be averted, but nobody seems to be interested in that at all.  Better men than I have been saying that we've passed the point of no return.

A lot of Christians seem to think that they'll be excused from judgment.  Either the rapture will happen or God will 'pass over us'.   I used to believe that too, but not any more.

 

Something happened in Charleston, my old haunt in younger days, that convinced me we are not exempt.  I think those folks were blessed, by the way.   They got to leave school early and are happy with the Lord now.  Their eyes will not see what is coming upon us and our children.

 

But we will.

 

The common retort is that God is in control.   Don't worry.  Be happy.   That was a cute song by the way, but it won't be cute when people start dying like flies.   A lot of them and a lot of us will be very confused and angry at God.   After a while, though, if some of us are still around - we'll realize that we'd forgotten why and how we got saved in the first place.

 

And we'll realize, some of us anyway, that God was right to do to us what He did................what He's going to do.

 

It just makes me very sad to think about it - crows or no crows.  It will happen and I wish I had lived in another time and didn't have to watch, that's all.

 

IF GOD DOES NOT JUDGE AMERICA, HE WILL HAVE TO APOLOGIZE TO SODOM AND GOMORRAH.

 

and that's me, hollering from the choir loft...
