Eagle and crow.
Ascending the hill this morning, angling for a photo of a Savannah Sparrow, I hear a commotion of crows coming from over the rise. This always gets my attention, and I turned toward the cacophony. Sure enough, a Bald Eagle came flapping over the summit, heading out toward Chickawaukie Lake, accompanied by a crow.
