This is the moment when a Blue Jay took on a mighty bald eagle - for getting too close to its nest.
Stunning pictures from Arlington, Massachusetts show how the bald eagle was slapped across the beak after getting too close to a protective blue jay's nest.
The eagle was perched on a pine tree when the blue jay swooped in and struck the bird of prey with its outstretched wing.
Amateur photographer Guilong Charles Cheng, 43, who captured the shocking interaction on camera, said the adult eagle yelled back in surprise.
'I was speechless but kept shooting,' he said.
