It is about that time of year when many American Bald Eagles may begin to fledge. Little do they know, they have many great challenges ahead of them including crows. Crows will gather and perch nearby the nest, waiting for the young American bald Eagles to take flight. Once the fledging Eagles are in the air, the crows start to mob and pull at the feathers of the juvenile Eagles.Life is tough in nature, even for those at the top of the food chain.
