@stueytheround @holon42 @northernbassist I sure would not mess with an adult eagle.

oh, for sure. and a wing slap is no laughing matter either. i see mourning doves using it on squirrels that get too close.
geese terrified my dad—he got chased and wing slapped as a little boy.
yes, geese are vicious 😱
The Canada geese that came to Illinois were nice, too...
... until I made the mistake of feeding them.
After that, I had to look around to see if they were lurking about before I got out of my car. They'd chase me right into the house demanding food!
I love animals, but these birds were testing me.
don't feed them or go near their nests.
@holon42 OK, I don't as it is, but won't in the future on your advice, thank you! 😉

When you think that each of those wings is roughly the size of an average household door, you begin to understand why a coyote isn't risking a fight.
