Someone asked about Snow Geese. We had them on Windsor Reservoir on Nov. 20
and 21. There were two Snow Geese and also a Blue-Phase. On Nov. 21 about
3:30PM a Bald Eagle began circling and diving at one of the Snow Geese. By the
time I got binoculars the Bald Eagle was in the water and seemed to be trying
to take off and I then realized what had happened. After that two Bald Eagles
sat in a tree by the Northwest shore and we thought they might be waiting for
the dead goose to drift toward them. It was drifting in their direction but we
never did see them actually get the goose.
About two days later we saw one goose on the Reservoir and wondered if it was
the survivor of the pair. This time it was among many Canada Geese. On the
day of the attack the two Snow Geese were in an area on the water by
themselves---safety in numbers? We have not seen any Snow Geese here since.
