Good For The Goose...

Uploaded: November 29, 2009

Description

Animals - Nov.29/09

Many are aware that both resident and migratory Canada geese (also known as Canadian Geese) live in the United States and Canada.
Resident geese make up the goose flocks in our parks and golf courses, where they stay throughout the year. Migratory geese have the same lifestyle as most migratory birds: They head north in the summer and south in the winter.
I think the more hand-outs of food, they will stay.

Exif: F Number: 4, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/60 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 800, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 50.00 mm, Model: PENTAX *ist D

Gorgeous goose capture Christine. We have Canadian geese here in NZ as well. #1210736

Beautiful and VERY PATRIOTIC, Sis!

GO CANADA GO! HA!

Also the OLDER birds can no longer make the trip. I have heard this, too, so they stay behind in Canada or never fly back from the states after that winter has passed!

Wonderful capture!!! Love it! Into FAVS!

Great image Christine...they are a great bird but unfortuately they can make a mess and be somewhat of a pest, quite nasty at times if you have been charged by some... #8179040

Great dof, Christine. It's cool how you managed to catch light in his eye and bring out such detail in the pebbles in the water. Well composed. #8179369

Hi Ray, yes, you are so right.. these geese are all over our city.. once, one was hissing and walking very slowly up to me, then all of a sudden he spread his wings, and charged at me.. I couldn't figure out why until I turned around and started running... THAT'S when I saw why the goose was going beserk! A cat was on the 'prowl' heading toward him, lol!

Thanks for looking Ray and your comments!

Christine- I think you did a spectacular job with your presentation of this Canadian goose here. Love your pov and you did a fantastic job in bringing out the colors and fasinating featues of the bird. Lighting is perfect and I love the water and all the little pebbles. Beautiful work my friend.
Have a wonderful day, take care, enjoy. #8186837
