A bald eagle trumps a flock of Canada geese [View all]

Today I was watching out my big window at the flock of Canada geese nibbling the lawn. All of a sudden, a shadow passed over them and they all ducked to the ground. Bald eagle soared overhead, then out over the river.

I had not ever thought of the eagle as a threat to geese, but their response sure showed me that they knew they were prey to it.
