Really funny? However the eagles simply weren't motivated to put up a fight. If push came to shove, the cranes would be in trouble. Raptor talons rule all!

These are incredible birds. The Florida species of this bird does NOT migrate thus they're here all year round. I've hand fed them as a pair with chicks. They are in fact quite friendly towards humans if you don't show aggression. They mate for life so this is either a Juvenile or it lost its spouse. It looks like a female as males are slightly larger. yeah its a humbling experience to look each other in the eye from one foot away.

My casual observation (1) the crane recognizes an enemy in a vulnerable position (2) the eagles are not afraid but (2a) the eagle aerial advantage is null, (2b) the eagle is wise enough to avoid harm from Beak or claw. The eagles are bathing/relaxing... another time and place and a death dive possibly leaves the crane as a meal. .. in louisiana these cranes are formidable... but they "aint" eagles...

Wow I wondered if they engaged if the SHC could win a battle. Longer legs but I don’t think they could grip and hold the ABE. I watched a video of an ABE attack a GB Heron and take one adult right off its nest. Terrible wailing from the GBH as they were still in the branches of the tree while the mate looked down helplessly. The Eagle finally killed the Heron and both fell to the ground.

Why are the eagles running away from the cranes? Why?

@michaeldeierhoi4096 2 жыл бұрын

For one thing the cranes are much taller and with a wingspan almost that of the eagles they are imposing in their own right. Plus while cranes are threatened by the eagles being nearby they are not afraid to move toward the eagles to push out of their area. The eagle would be in for an awkward fight with the crane because of the height difference.

@carlwilliams6977 2 жыл бұрын

@@michaeldeierhoi4096 The cranes likely have offspring nearby, and the eagles aren't motivated to stand their ground. If push came to shove, don't kid yourself.... Those eagle talons would make quick work of the crane! Height difference? They're all spindly leg! and neck. The body mass is about the same, less the talons!

@michaeldeierhoi4096 2 жыл бұрын

@@carlwilliams6977 From what I have seen and read Bald eagles usually only go after injured or young cranes and rarely adult cranes. I have been to the Bosque del Apache wildlife refuge here in New Mexico for many years where the cranes winter over. I have yet to see or hear of any predation on the cranes though I'm sure it happens just not very often.

Actually the eagle was minding its own business from what I discern. however on the ground the Sand Hill can be territorial. They're VERY friendly towards us though. I've had them walk right up to me (looking for a handout) if you don't show aggression. And really who would? these are beautiful birds thus if they ever approach you please stand still and you will be richly rewarded by their close presence.
