These pics of a bald eagle tussling with a Canadian goose riled up a lot of political feelings in the comment section

I could see all but a negligible sliver that showed nothing.

I like to see art ‘big’, so I can see the detail.

The small ones at ‘Not the Bee’ don’t convey nearly the drama of the subject.

"Those geese can be a little tough but if you cook them just right, they’re delicious."

I don't like the way they sneak up behind you when you're fishing on the shore.

Picking a nit here….its a Canada Goose, not Canadian Goose.

Nit pick or pick nit, nobody gives a goose's ass. Canada or Canadian, it really doesn't matter since everyone know what the hell that damn bird is........

Shoot 'em, shoot 'em all. And the ones you miss, run them over with your car or truck....

Usually it’s called a ‘Convocation’ of Eagles. Sometimes a ‘Soar’; or a group of nesting ones, an ‘Aerie’.

Interesting rabbit hole I've just traversed looking for real rather than AI Eagle vs Goose content. It's almost as if some crafty media conglomerate has scrubbed the leading stories to put the goose on top - so perfidious! However from a birdwatcher perspective the truth grudgingly wills out.

Are you suggesting that the pics posted here are ‘AI’?

Kind of like goats when you turn your back on them?

"All they do is make a lot of noise and shit all over the place."

Sounds like my neighbor.

I suspect this is really being caused by non-trade issues and perhaps President Trump has intel on our Canadian government that indicates they have been doing bad things, something that opponents of the government in Canada have been saying for years too, this is by no means a one-party state.

If so, it would be useful to let this information see the light of day. One thing that is fairly obvious to us in Canada is that there must be considerable corruption involved in our major seaports because a lot of stolen vehicles are leaving while a lot of fentanyl is coming into Canada (or components). You would think it would be easy enough to police these situations and prevent these two crime waves from taking place. Lots of talk about how it will happen in the future, but no reason it could not have started years ago.

I hope we clear all these things up, don’t like to see all the hostility between Americans and Canadians as I like to travel in the states.
