挑釁 Eagle and Crow Competition

科學圖說 Scientific introduction

京都鴨川畔正上演黑鳶和烏鴉之間的對決。小嘴烏鴉不斷驚擾停棲在枝頭和廣告看板上的黑鳶，試圖將黑鳶驅離食物豐富的溪床。適應都市環境的黑鳶及烏鴉，以人們所留下的食物及垃圾為食，兩者的食性和棲地相當而形成競爭，在鴨川畔不時可看見兩者相互追逐。此照片展現出烏鴉與黑鳶在都市環境中的相互關係，並且捕捉到一隻烏鴉試圖直接衝向黑鳶的精彩瞬間。

Along the Kamo River in Kyoto, Japan, a crow continuously agitates an eagle perched on a lamp rod over a billboard. It is attempting to drive the eagle from the riverbed, which is rich in food sources. The eagle and crow have adapted to the urban environment, as well as to foraging for food left behind or thrown away by humans. The feeding habits and perching places of these two species have become increasingly similar, resulting in competition. In this part of Kyoto, it is possible to see these two species of birds chasing after one another. This image presents the interrelationships between them in an urban environment.
