Are any birds of prey large & strong enough to be considered a natural enemy of Canadian Geese?

Question

Just wondering because it seems there is an over population of these geese in so many areas. Eagles & large hawks should have a relatively easy time finding food & increasing their numbers.

Answer 1

Several websites give similiar answers:

"Predators of Canada geese and their eggs vary widely among areas and include foxes, coyotes, wolves, bears, wolverines, gulls, eagles, and ravens."
http://www.adfg.state.ak.us/pubs/notebook/bird/canada.php

"While adult geese can be prey to wolves, coyotes and foxes, this does not impact goose populations as much as you might think. Most people are surprised to learn that most goose predation/population regulation occurs at the egg and gosling stage of their life-cycle. A wide range of species will attempt to eat goose eggs, including birds such as crows, and small mammals such as raccoons. Goslings are also particularly susceptible to predation by snapping turtles and birds of prey, including hawks and owls."

"Predators of Canada geese and their eggs include humans, coyotes, raccoons, skunks, bobcats, and foxes, as well as gulls, eagles, crows, ravens, and magpies."

Answer 2

They are Canada Geese, not Canadian Geese.

I'm guessing the goslings are vulnerable to birds of prey but not the adults.

Answer 3

To my knowledge there are no birds of prey that bother Canadian Geese.
Most of the problems Canadians have is while nesting from Coyotes, raccoons, fox's, & skunks raiding the nests for eggs.
That is why they like to nest on islands if possible.

Answer 4

There are also coyotes, wild dogs, bobcats, and my Gracie- a little gray cat.
