Bald Eagle with a kill - Eastern Ontario, Canada (1 Viewer)

[Gordon W]

This morning in eastern Ontario, Canada I saw this bald eagle on the ice of the Rideau Canal dining on a kill. All I've ever seen them eating before this was fish, but this looks like it might have been a Canada Goose. Can anyone tell if that's a correct ID?

Definitely a Branta goose, probably Canada due to its size compared to the Eagle but I don’t know about those eastern Cacklers

Thanks, Michael. About all we have in this immediate area are Canada geese, although in the region there are sometimes snow geese, which this definitely wasn't.

yes looks like Canada goose , not cackling, due to size and relatively long bill
