Looks like the eagle is banded.
I wonder though, was the blackbird actually hitching a ride, or was it attacking the eagle?

Totally. Nonsense headline. You see smaller birds swooping on predatory birds all the time. The photographer just happened to snap a photo (or freeze frame a video) at a particular moment.
