EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating interaction between two majestic birds - the Steppe eagle and a crow. In this intense moment frozen in time, the Steppe eagle (Aquila nipalensis) stands tall on the left side of the frame, while a crow from the Corvidae family takes flight towards it from the right. The Steppe eagle, known for its impressive wingspan of nearly two meters, is native to vast regions spanning from Romania through the steppes all the way to Mongolia. This magnificent raptor primarily feeds on carrion but also possesses hunting skills that enable it to prey upon small rodents. Against a backdrop of clear blue sky, these aerial creatures showcase their natural prowess and biological behavior. The image highlights not only their physical attributes but also sheds light on animal behavior as they engage in an act called "mobbing". The smaller crow fearlessly challenges and harasses its larger counterpart, perhaps defending its territory or attempting to protect its young. This stunning photograph serves as a testament to nature's intricate dynamics and showcases both beauty and power within our wildlife. It reminds us of how diverse species coexist in harmony while displaying remarkable adaptations that contribute to their survival in different ecosystems around the world.
