This poor juvenile Bald Eagle is taking a beating from two Red-winged Blackbirds. The two blackbirds were on a branch behind the eagle. Here the two attacked the eagle at the same time. The one Blackbird is out of sight by they have just pummeled the juvenile eagle, hitting her in the back and knocking her off balance. The blackbirds were relentless. Each time the birds would attack she would cry. It was hard to watch. You had to feel sorry for the eagle. The blackbirds would attack her head and she would cower and cry.
The poor dear was learning a lesson in her new life that raptors are not well liked by other birds. She stayed on that limb for about an hour and a half taking the beating on and off the whole time.
