Summary
A Canada goose successfully fended off a bald eagle in a rare 20-minute battle on a frozen lake in Burlington, Ontario.
Captured by photographer Mervyn Sequeira, the encounter took on symbolic meaning amid rising tensions between Canada and the U.S., sparked by Donald Trump’s trade policies and comments about annexation.
The confrontation paralleled recent national pride moments, including Canada’s overtime hockey victory against the U.S.
The sound usually used with a bald eagle in patriotic scenes isn’t even its cry.
Bald eagles make a wimpy little squeak sound.
True. They have a high pitched squeak that sounds more like a gull.
We should have gone with the turkey.
It’s a red-tailed hawk IIRC
