From Ron Sobers

Peregrine Falcon and Young Eagle ~ Backstory, the speed of the falcon was fast and this photo was taken with water in the background. The Eagle looks a little stunned. Nikon z8, 1/3200, 600mm6.3 lens. NJ

More context from the comment section:

Before the encounter the Bald Eagle flew pass the area where the falcons live, the falcons (2) started making the Keh- Keh sounds and started flying towards the Eagle and diving towards the Eagle which tried to fly away into the tree line after a few minutes the Eagle reappeared attempted to leave area, I lost sight when the Eagle got hit in the tree line.

What if a snake had wings, legs, talons and a beak and could fly and fight rival snakes?

Makes me think of Chinese style dragons.

Ehem. Yeah, that's what I assumed people would immediately think about. All planned specifically.
