A Crow risking life and limb harasses a Bald Eagle, seemingly because it can. Perhaps there is a nest nearby but one can often see a murder of crows chasing an eagle as they fly. The crow's true strength against eagles is it's agility and safety in numbers. Crows tend to stay together and are more than a match against the solitary eagles that wander into their territory, plus where there is an eagle, there will probably be food that can be pilfered by the wily crow!
