Hi

Would appreciate some comments to pass along to a gentleman that we met
while looking at a job on Lake Tapps.

He told us that several times over the past year, his dog had brought home a
Canada Goose that had the internal organs eaten through a hole in the chest.
He is of the opinion that this was done by the Bald Eagles in the area. I
expressed my doubts that a Bald Eagle could take down prey as large as a
Canada Goose. I also had not heard of a feeding pattern that involved a
hole in the chest with the remainder of the bird left to be wind-drifted
into one of the inlets on the lake. What are the possibilities that the
bird died a natural death or was killed by the dog and then eaten by the dog
in that manner?

The info that it was several occerences and not a single instance also has
me bothered.

Any comments or hypotheses will be passed on to the homeowner when we are
back in the area.

Many thanks,
