Canada goose fights off bald eagle in rare, symbolism-laden battle on ice

Photographer captures 20-minute clash between birds emblematic of Canada and US amid high trade tensions

Canada geese are the worst. But I'm rooting for one in this case.

I mean, I'm not really shocked. If you've ever seen bald eagles in the wild, they behave more like overgrown seagulls than the dignified predators you've been conditioned to expect - they even sound ridiculous.
Canada geese, though? They'll straight up fuck you up.
- Hey, I think they sound pretty. Not badass, but pretty at least.

"on ice" sounds like a show you could buy tickets to
- God, let's not bring Disney into this.
