Re: [Maine-birds] Re: kingbird riding on eagle

Kingbirds are fearless about protecting their nesting area. Here's a shot of just what you describe.

Must have been amazing to watch!

Kayaking on Lake Arrowhead on Saturday morning,  I went to visit our local eagle nest where I saw the adult eagle feed the young eagles and then take off. 

 A kingbird nearby flew up over the flying eagle and landed on its back, and took a ride. 

 I saw this happen twice.  Today I went back when the weather finally cleared out and found another couple who saw the same behavior.  Had anyone else seen this happen?
