Brilliant.  Literal wingwalking!  ;D

It looks like some sort of corvid and an eagle - a redtailed eagle at a guess  :innocent:
 
I wonder if the crow is attacking the eagle or if they are someone's pets so it's genuinely hitching a ride.
 
It's amazing  :D

What wonderful photos.  I have heard that crows will attack birds of prey.

Amazing pic Henchard  :thumbsup:

I presumed the little bird was parasite-picking like you see some do on game animals in Africa  :)
