    Canada Geese, if you don't know, are incredibly intelligent. My own father, after his retirement from GE in Salina, NY, was in my opinion an heir to Konrad Lorenz. He had an incredible relationship with his flock of Canada, Embden and Toulouse Geese. The Canadians he raised specifically would actually migrate for the winter and fly back to his 26 acres in the spring in upstate NY. They would greet him by approaching him while honking and tugging at his pant legs with their beak. I couldn't make this up.

      No argument from me! I do not know if they are as good as American Crows at figuring things out, but if one watches them closely, at least some level of intelligence can become obvious.

    1. Not a bald eagle - it’s a young golden eagle
    2. Not a battle with a goose - it was going for something floating in the water, and
    3. Adult golden eagles are king of the sky and routinely kill and eat Canadian geese.

      Listen little unlearned buddy, I sent you the link. You can go look it up yourself and finish educating your mind on the subject.
      You completely disregarded my encouraging you to be specific. I spelled it out for you in case you are still a little dense.
      Immature is a generalizing term. Ranging anything from an “eaglet” to a “subadult”. So if you want to paint a generalizing picture with a broad brush like this, I’m gonna point out where you’re wrong.
      Now if you were to say - as a juvenile they don’t have a yellow beak - I would completely agree. They’re no longer a “juvenile” after the first year and they’re moved into the “subadult” category
      As I already pointed out to you, around the three years mark is when the bald eagle starts showing a yellow beak. Your welcome.
      Have fun learning from the avian report!

    One of the geese tried to ambush the eagle at 1:27 . The trouble is their eyes are angled at 30 degrees away from the midline of the face, so they have a 340-degree field of vision and can pretty much observe other predators trying to sneak up from behind.

      @@craigbielsky115 No, they don't. That's silly. They eat lots of fish, and some have gone into the water, not intentionally. If they do go in and they're in the water for long, they're swimming for shore (if they can). Once their wings and other feathers are wet, they are unable to lift off with the added weight, wet feathers, and reduced room below them to flap their wings hard enough to gain lift. Ospreys go into the water after fish, but they're built for it with waterproof feathers. Eagles - not at all. They snatch their fish as they fly by over the water surface.
