[obol] harassed and harasser

[Alan Reid]

Once at Lost Lake (Linn Co.) I saw a Bald Eagle flying overhead with a 
Red-winged Blackbird harrasing it.  The viewing angle was very steep so I 
couldn't be sure but it looked like the Blackbird was landing on the Eagle's 
back briefly from time to time.
