Just curious for clarification John, if you saw them kill the goose
or came upon them feasting? I've always understood B.Eagles(cowards that
they are!!) to primarily be scavengers, who will hunt fish or small rodents
on occasion if necessary, but a C. Goose can put up a major fight and would
be quite a sight to see an eagle, let alone two in tandem, take one on
(unless it were already injured or dying).
Hope a lot of folks saw the wonderful PBS show last night titled
"Extraordinary Birds"!!
