America and Canada are (largely) peaceable neighbors, but it surely appears their two avian symbols do not all the time get alongside. Not too long ago, safety cameras at Grant Public Utility District in Washington state captured an odd sight: an impressive bald eagle flying into view with a hapless Canada goose clutched in its talons.
“That is one thing you do not see each day,” a consultant for the utility posted on Fb. “Even at Wanapum Dam!”
In accordance with the Tacoma Information Tribune, even management room staff did not consider what they noticed at first and needed to rewind the safety video.
Christine Pratt, a spokesperson for Grant PUD, instructed the paper staff have been shocked the eagle was capable of carry such a big chook, saying, “A Canada goose can simply outweigh an eagle.”
The goose’s destiny is unknown, though Joe Buchanan, a wildlife biologist with the state’s Division of Fish and Wildlife, instructed the paper he thinks the goose was already useless when taken by the eagle, as a result of the video did not present it preventing to get free.
Staff noticed the eagle land on a lamppost with the goose, after which one other eagle, probably mate to the primary one, joined them.
A number of Fb commenters made jokes.
“Wow. It is a traditional USA vs Canada state of affairs,” one wrote.
Mentioned one other, “Seems to be like that eagle is having goose for Xmas.”
And one other individual wrote, “Birds caught on to Uber.”
