[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
As I have mentioned previously about crows,they are truly brave creatures and will not back down even when faced with a foe such as this Bald Eagle.The weather was poor at the time with gray skies and a light snow falling but an opportunity like this one could not be passed up so I took a number of shots on this day.This was my third eagle I have shot and though it could be better,I know that sooner or later I'll get that special shot that will wow me and hopefully everybody else as well.No birds were harmed in this photo shoot.So there you have it, my 100th upload to TN.Cropped and resized using Paint.Net.

Hello Bob,
Congratulations on 100 postings. This shot is great considering the battle you have with the elements.
I too believe crows are ravens are highly intelligent, thanks for sharing and I'm looking forward to many more.

Hello Bob,
Congrats for this priceless capture which happens to be your 100th! This is very impressive with good details and great pose from this majestic fellow. This is beautiful and I almost can hear him scream :) Thanks,
Claudine

Hi Bob
Congratulations on your 100th post!
I wonder what the Eagle was thinking as the crow was flying by? A great action shot. Blue sky would be the only thing to make this better but we can't have everything.

Hello Bob , good freezing action photo between Bald Eagle and Raven , good comp. TFS.

Hi Bob，
Congratulations on your 100th post!
I very like your birds, and your notes, and your empressement.
On your upload, I can see a supernormal world of the birds, thanks for sharing!
Regards,shaoqi

Salut Bob
Une belle prise de vue les couleur sont belles et très beau contraste.On voit par la couleur du ciel que la lumiêre n'était pas au rendez-vous,mais toi tu y étais pour capter ce vol.
Bravo et au revoir...JP

Hi Bob,
Congratulations with reaching this milestone. I am sure that many more will be broken soon. Like 1000 points :)
Anyway, the weather did not help you with the lighting, but the moment captured is surely worth more. You still might be able to lighten the photo with a levels adjustment. But still the moment. How the eagle looks at the crow and trying to make it go away is wonderful.
TFS,
Niek

Bob, what is brave? Aint that a fancy word for "Not enough brains to be smart?"

Congrats on your century post! Great action in tyhis shot to celebrate great action in your gallery! That is quite the dedication since 2007-01-03!!! Well done! Jay

PS I spotted to my horror that I only gave 1/2 :) before...
I must have been 1/2 asleep! Corrected!
