Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) & Crow

Shoreline Park
Mountain View, California

This Golden Eagle was being taunted by a large crow at Shoreline Lake. It eventually had enough and soared past me down to the ground where it caught a ground squirrel. I was able to get very close and capture the additional images you see in this gallery. Amazing experience!
