Tag / Canada Geese

Canada Geese – oh so common in every local pond around the city.  Although this post is dated late May, these photos were taken early in the month.  There are already some newly hatched goslings in our local pond and I will wander down there on the next sunny evening to see them.  Mother goose was leading her brood across a very busy street a few days ago but all the traffic stopped for them to pass safely.

Enjoy!

Summer is passing so quickly and I have hundreds of  new photos to catalogue and post.  Hopefully the “New Photos” Gallery will be updated in a few weeks – hope you will keep checking.

I almost passed this lovely bird by as it was swimming among Canada Geese at Hecla Island.  It was the little tuft of feather sticking up on its head that made me turn around and take a second look.  I have never seen this type of goose before – but they could be easily by-passed as my reference book indicates they can be found amongst the Canada Geese  as singles or small numbers.  They are about the same size as Canada Geese but their bill has a pinkish tone and their plumage quite different than Canadas.

Those of you who like to take photos of birds or wildlife have likely had this experience. Just when you are ready to snap that shutter your subject turns on you leaving you with that “butt” shot. These pictures are not always bad, just not quite what you had intended to shoot.Today’s blog features some “butt” shots. My favourite is the mother goose leading her goslings to the water.
