Canada Geese


This guy was more than happy to pose for me. Actually, I think he probably thought I had food..lol

These two were fairly wrapped in each other. This other guy...well, I think he's engaged in a heated game of Marco Polo.

Ducks and Herons


These guys were staying fairly close due to the kids throwing bread into the pond. They're opportunists, if not anything else

Hard to get a good shot of this guy. This is, believe it or not, the best one I got. I'll have to go back and try to get him better another day.

Peacocks and Peahens


These guys are total divas. Hard to catch. Even better if you can get them during mating season when their tails are open, as they try to impress the peahens.

Had to chase this guy all over the damn lawn..lol

Speaking of divas, these little princess have staked out their place on the table, demanding that free food they feel they're entitled to.

Sort:  

besides myself and a few others, I don't see a lot of Canadian entries on steemit yet. Nice to see the geese....not that they aren't EVERYWHERE here....they are regal when in the water - I was swarmed once upon a time and I have to say it was kind of horrific. Good job with the photos.

Thank you. Though the geese are canadian, I am not. I'm actually from Los Angeles. And you're right. Geese can be total assholes lol

Here are some Canada geese in Lahti, Finland.
I shot the pic a few years ago:

Canada geese (Branta canadensis)

Canada's where all the good rock music comes from :D

Nice pics. Too bad I missed this one yesterday. Resteem and see how this does.

It's okay, bro. Thank you for the resteem

Great photos, I will feature this in my "Today in the Spotlight" segment on today's post!

Thank you so much, @daveks
