Not to sound like the oracle of Delphi or anything, but a bald eagle getting into a fight with a Canada goose and the goose winning is absolutely an omen from the Gods.

Been thinking a lot lately about how chickadees, which weigh roughly an ounce, have a call that means "here is a big scary threat, but if we all mob it at once it leave."
It works. Every time.
I'm starting to think being "bird brained" should be a compliment, actually.
They’re terrifying and you would think a bald eagle would have realised that by now, but I guess this one was all huffed up on that American exceptionalism.
As someone who used to work with birds in both zoological and rescue/rehab settings, nothing about this scenario surprises me at all. Don’t fuck with geese. Eagles will fight you if for their survival, they have to. Geese will fight you because they want to
Lived at Ky Lake for a minute. Had a pit bull who so wanted to chase the geese and eat goose turds. Was very happy that the electric fence kept him from the metaphorical catching of the car/geese. They were mean. Very mean.

And yes to the omen.
