Bald Eagle - Canada Goose Battle in Slow Motion
A juvenile Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) swoops down to catch a fish near some swimming Canada Geese (Branta canadensis), but drops its meal when the startled Geese react. Montezuma, New York, 11/9/2013.

Wow! Canadian geese (2 daredevils and 2 support staff) proactively attack an eagle. That was impressive.
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.
Aerial combat by the masters !!!! How awesome is this ? A real dogfight. The F-15 Eagle was chased off by a couple of long-distance cargo haulers !!!
Amazing footage! I live around a lot of Canada geese and can assure you they can be quite scary when they're in protective mode!

It was a junior eagle. A full grown male, no competition. They can carry one off.
Eagle is lucky to survive all those Canadian Snow Cobras.

Consider eagle was farther away from the smaller ducks which would had made better meals.
Great bodycheck by Canada 🇨🇦!! 🏒
It's basically a frame by frame now, isn't much of a slow motion, technically teaching us animators how to animate a bird lmao
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.

While you may be right regarding the target being a fish in the water, that was a juvenile Bald Eagle, not a Golden Eagle.

@@bz6046 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!
Thank you playback speed 2.
I once saw a goose fight. It was terrifying. One of the geese was trying to leave3 seconds in. Fight lasted minutes. Most brutal assault I’ve ever seen

Sometimes they will buzz the flock to try and create a panic and get the geese to take off all at once. Then they pick off any geese that get injured from hitting each other.
awesome footage !!! thumbs up !!
Eagle came way too close to the nursery area and geese let him have it. Almost looked like he landed on water, close call for young Eagle.
Better parents then some human beings.
Thinning out the Canadian population would probably be beneficial, but this was an impressive side to the goose I didn't realize existed.

Why did this need to be in slow motion?

strength in numbers. Canadian Geese are tough bitds. I saw a couple of yard birds (Canadian Geese that iive in US suburbs) attack an adult male for not doling out the corn fast enough.
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.

Jesus Christ, the number of commenters who are screaming that it's not a bald eagle reeeeaallly need to do some more research. Says right in the description, JUVENILE bald eagle. They don't get their white feathers until they're a few years old. The number of commenters actually arguing about it is sad; a quick Google search will tell you all you need to know.

If an eagle gets water logged that's bad. Water on a goose is natural.
