Sometimes you are in the right place at the right time, and you capture magic.

That is exactly what happened to amateur nature photographer Jason McCarty of central Minnesota, who toldCNN, “I talk to Mother Nature, and she talks back. It’s a bond that’s hard to explain.”

McCarty was recently out enjoying the nature around Osceola, Wisconsin, when he captured a bond that’s hard to explain on his camera. He managed to get a shot of a red-winged blackbird riding on the back of a bald eagle that easily dwarfed the other bird.

This difference in size didn’t scare the blackbird. McCarty says that blackbirds are known for being territorial, and that the one he spotted landed on the back of the eagle after the larger flier got a little too close to blackbird’s turf, reports CNN.
