That hawk is NOT going to catch that little bird. It would be like a B52 trying to catch an F15.
It will though. A B52 caught a F15 once. I saw it on Hannah Montana.
That is a golden eagle.
So yeah, There’s no way it will catch that little bird…
A REAL hawk would though.
Buteos (large hawks) aren’t that maneuverable, either. An accipiter or a falcon might be able to pull it off, but the effort expended wouldn’t be worth the meal.
Plus, that’s a magpie, which, like other corvids, are notorious for mobbing raptors.
Jake is right. If the magpie were to get attacked by the hawk, the hawk would have landed on it and all we would see of the magpie would be a rapidly dispersing flurry of feathers.
Maybe they meant the hawk.
in groups, not solo. Alone they are dead and Eagles do catch and eat small birds on many occasions. Idiots.
Yeah- by ambush from above, not a head-on assault. A small bird is more maneuverable and can get to cover faster than the eagle could catch it.
That is no hawk! That is a golden eagle and a magpie! I am insulted that you would not instantly recognize these two magnificent birds on the spot, and you are obviously a failure of a human being.
That looks nothing like a golden eagle. Definitely a wedgetail eagle. Now apologise to Robert.
*cough* it’s neither, it’s a juvenile White Tailed Eagle (hence no white tail and why it’s fecking enormous.)
Win! Hawks are small, maneuverable birds with long tails and short, rounded wings for flying through forest areas, small talons and fine bills for picking bones. Eagles, on the other hand, are large, heavy birds with a short, broad tail and enormous, fingered wings, heavy-set talons and enormously thick beaks in relation to their body.
Definitely Eagle, although i suspect juvenile White Tailed Eagle, rather than Golden, just doesn’t seem to fit the Golden image, a little too thickset, a little too unrefined.

and your mom says you are ugly.
Hawk will not catch it ???
Dude your freaking stupid and naive.
For a chase, small bird > eagle. Eagle are ambushers from above- they can’t catch a small, maneuverable bird, like a magpie, if there is cover nearby for the magpie to dive for. Magpies get off the ground faster, and can get to cover faster.
Hawk!?
What hawk?
That’s a magpie!
My mother caught a bird bigger than that once!
that bird wouldn’t've been in the vicinity of your dad’s crotch, would it?
hello my fo i mean friend
I’ve seen smaller birds take on larger raptors and win.
I don’t want to ask…
Boba Fett was there, too. Boba Fett lost money.
You have seen your hand enter your pants and still fail
http://verydemotivational.com/upcoming/?pid=7792&from=recMap3
I wouldn’t put it past that eagle to be able to catch the magpie if it tried.
Nah, it can’t physically, it’s made to catch fish and rabbits, and… well, things that are already dead, not little birds like European Magpies
Guys, wait- I am a bird dork. The larger bird is probably having a worse day than the smaller bird.
Larger birds, such as this one, spend a great deal of time getting pummeled by smaller birds, at least during spring/summer when they are defending their babies. Magpies can be sort of ballsy, especially for birds. It is well documented that mockingbirds, which are even smaller than magpies, will not only attack much larger animals, but will in fact remember specific people that got what they felt was too close to their nest, even months later. Surely you’ve seen a single large bird flying through the air getting attacked by one or multiple smaller birds? Am I really the only one looking at birds?
Of course, this isn’t to say that the larger bird couldn’t snap the magpie in half like a much smaller bird, just that it is not particularly likely in this scenario. If the hawk had gone after the magpie, the magpie would be pinned under the hawk’s talons getting eviscerated and eaten, not getting stared down.
You guys ever think that it’s the hawk who’s going to have a bad day? I’ve seen magpies bombard those dudes until they practically fall out of the sky.

lying idiot.
Implying that the bird was still mobile when the eagle got to it.
Second time I ask about this in the comments.
What hawk!?
The magpie is probably waiting to snab the eagles food. Magpies are pretty wiley birds-I think they’re close relations to crows. I do like the poster, the eagle looks so peved.
Eagle definitely has a “Just leave me the hell alone!” look on his face.
Hasn’t this become almost motivational by now?
A magpie could kick an eagles ass easy. For small birds they have the personalities of monsters.
Personalities of mobsters?
Both.

Your mom is a stret fighter. You are not.
That isnt a magpie… it’s too soft and cuddly for my liking…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Magpie
If it was one of those suckers at the other end of the branch, the eagle might definitely be forgiven for thinking that it was in for a really bad day!
It does look awfully small for a magpie, but maybe just because it’s next to a very large eagle.
Probably a magpie lark. Just as vicious, though. Either way, they’re both on the same level of the food chain. Eagles don’t hunt magpies/larks for the same reason that lions don’t hunt cheetahs.
Nah, definitely a plain European Magpie (Pica Pica), they often hang around big birds like this one, which is definitely either a Golden Eagle or, more likely since the eagle is so large, a juvenile White-Tailed Eagle, as juveniles do not develop the white tail until maturity.
It is simply hoping the eagle has a kill somewhere, or has found some carrion, it will just sneak in halfway through and steal the leftover bits, or mob the eagle to force it to drop anything it is carrying, or it will chase it away because it is too close to its nesting area.
It’s a black-billed magpie (the american version, not the australian version). They’re related to crows and wouldn’t take crap from any bird of pray. Plus, birds of pray who do eat other birds only take them on wing (while flying). No one’s eating anyone here.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-billed_Magpie
Not Australian Magpie, European Magpie, combined with what appears to be a juvenile White-Tailed Eagle makes me suspect this image is either Scottish, or from a temperate area of Western Europe, so your Australian Magpie is probably a bit lost

You are talking out of your ass again.
Typical Eagle, picking on something smaller, mostly black that can’t defend itself too good.
*mourns the death of grammar*
so much for bad days…
great photo there,though.
With a magpie there, it’s the golden eagle that’s gonna have the bad day!
Where there is a Wolfie, braisn are going to have a bad day!
http://verydemotivational.com/upcoming/?pid=7792&from=recMap3
same nature shoot, idiots.
If only that was mah name
Was the image supposed to show an eagle eating a sparrow to demonstrate that Golden Eagles can catch little birds? Cos… that’s a pheasant fledgling methinks…
Anyway, pointless argument, because nobody listens to anybody in these arguments, including me, so… g’night y’all
Which actually meant that even I don’t listen, not ‘nobody listens to me’, just to clarify, cos i sounded a bit massive-headed… XD
I quote you with this one.
Sparrows.
Sparrows =/= Magpies.
Though it’s hilarious how you are so pathetic. Can’t wait to see more.
You mammals cannot read bird body language. I happen to be a bird, so I shall explain what is going on.
This is not a confrontation. Bird on the right is not in an aggressive state, nor is the eagle. Notice the eagle’s feet are angled away from each other, and the eagle’s legs are straight. That’s a relaxed pose. If the eagle intended violence, it would be crouched with both feet turned toward the other bird. The smaller bird is also in a normal perched position. What happened is the smaller bird just told the eagle something incredible. The eagle is all “No wai… you cannot be serious!”
Now you made me laugh!
This is from the same portfolio of pictures. Every single idiot on this page talking out of their stupid asses about how the Eagle is in trouble, recognize the featehrs and the scale of the foot sticking out of the eagle’s mouth? Its just like when your mom ate your dad in one bite!

… -that- is your response… and -only- 1/2 intelligent response???… duuude… talk about Uber Lameness and an Uber Fail at everything… might have been somewhat interesting if it wasn’t the same link… and 1/2 the people are saying the magpie is in trouble… some are saying the eagle is… honestly… WHO GIVES A FLYIN F*** -BESIDES- the 2 -IN- the pic? I don’t… hell i just want a good show is all =D
Check the species of the magpie- they don’t have pink legs, they have black- whatever the eagle is eating is not that magpie.
Further, check out the pictures’ pages- the blank shot for this was by Mytre, the blank shot of ‘excellence eagle’ is by anonymous. NOT the same portfolio.
You are a fail-troll. Not only are the legs and feathers of a magpie black, but the bird in his link is a different species. The beak is much shorter, rounder, and darker.
Go sit in the corner.
Screw it. Shoot both of ‘em.
OH S**T! this is NOT good
“oh f*…”
That eagle is screwed.
“Ah HAH! I’ve got you cornered! Oh, wait…”
I looked at this picture and started hearing the theme to “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly”
The reason it says “Bad Day” is probably because in British (esp. Scottish) superstition one magpie is considered bad luck.
One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver
Six for gold
Seven for a secret
Ne’er to be told
In this case, Speed > Strength
That is, if the eagle is stupid enough to even try. Which they usually aren’t.
