A CHEEKY CROW has been photographed in a rare moment catching a lift on the back of a BALD EAGLE 25-feet in the air. These unusual images show the moment this intrepid crow landed on the back of a bald eagle while the much larger predatory bird was trying find itself an early morning snack. This encounter lasted only a few seconds before the birds parted as friends and flew their own separate ways. This chance-meeting was captured by amateur photographer Phoo Chan (50) in Seabeck, Washington, USA.
