This goose was drying off in the sunset. You can even see the steam coming off of it. Pretty cool.
Fantastic photos of the meanest bird!
A largely misunderstood bird. Love these dudes. They do poop everywhere, all the time, though.
Ha, yeah there were a few ruined shots because the parents dropped a deuce in the middle of the frame.
The lighting is so good on these
Some say they are mean, i like to think they have well defined boundaries. Also they must ignore some laws of aerodynamics to fly with a body shaped like a watermelon.
I agree. They talk a big game, but they’re mostly chill. Just don’t get too close and they don’t really mind.
Glad you used the telephoto lens otherwise they would have bit your nuts off
EDIT: because I want to make sure people know the above is a joke, these are beautiful shots of beautiful birds 🖖
Not true. Most Canada geese are not aggressive unless heavily provoked, or their young are threatened. In fact, if you see them in a public area, you can almost certainly walk right up to them and they won’t do anything but waddle away.
Hey, if you’ve got a problem with Canadian geese, then you’ve got a problem with me and I suggest you let that marinate.
Sounds like you’re gonna bit my nuts off if I get too close. Don’t worry, friend, I have no reason to get close to you or your cobra chickens 😉
2/5 stars.
