The pair of Bald Eagles I've been watching have their nest in a dead tree that is out in a lake. Tonight, two Canada Geese insisted on swimming around the tree all evening, even after two low level, fly by warning passes by the male Bald Eagle. Finally, after further agitation from the geese, the male gave one of the geese that decided to perch in a low branch on an adjacent tree a love tap on its back. This photo is just before impact.
