Wild Bird Wednesday - the Canadians




Canadians - of the geese variety, that is.  This handsome couple enjoys the recreation area for my sister's senior citizen's community.  The residents like having them around because they are so calm and friendly.

A few more shots of them variously occupied:




And finally, for just a little fun:

A white chin strap, cute goose butt, making goosey eyes, prefer neck or wing?

  2. Nice shots! Geese tend to be far more tolerant than swans. We have a lot of Canadians around here, too.

    Love the first shot!
    They seem to be loving that beautiful green grass.

  12. I love photographing geese. But the ones around here (and there are many) can get a little aggressive if you get too close, especially this time of year with their young un's close by. Great pics Faye!

  13. These are good looking birds - but back in the UK they are a real pest - too much goose poo!
