Bald eagles are big and majestic, even the young ones like the immature bird pictured here.
Who’s smart and cocky? That small black bird in the back: a crow pulling the bald eagle’s tail.
Sometimes crows are a little too daring but this one is getting away with it.

Potentially of some interest, based on geographic location, I would guess that the crow is a Northwestern Crow (Corvus caurinus). American Crow doesn’t occur in coastal British Columbia. I’d love to see a Northwestern Crow — it would be a lifer!
Ha – love this photo! It made me think of Canuck, the crow in Vancouver, BC that has befriended his very own human, Shawn.
Very brave crow
