Anyone who has had an encounter with a Canada goose knows they won’t be messed with easily. An American bald eagle learned that lesson in a clash with a goose late last month.

The battle has made headlines — symbolic of the Canada-U.S. tariff war.

The combat was caught on camera by Burlington, Ont., photographer Mervyn Sequeira. He was out with his family when they spotted the eagle descending toward the frozen ice near the LaSalle Marina in Burlington.
