Angry Goose/Watery Wednesday

Temper, temper!

This guy is super mad! What's he so upset about?

Another male Canada goose is invading his territory

It's mating season and male Canada geese have zero tolerance for rivals. (Yep, the photo IS a bit fuzzy but I wanted you to see what all the fuss was about!)

I am linking to Watery Wednesday where you can find many more watery photos.

    The geese get pretty excited this time of year. You caught a great shot.

    I agree with everyone else. The first shot with the bird's open bill is terrific; I can ever hear the noise!

    excellent shot, EG. You really captured his mood. I have a pair that have staked out the pond and they will not let any other geese near at all. The occasional duck they don't care about. Fine with me I don't want a lot of geese around anyway. MB

    Got a smile out of me this morning. I've been chased by gooses! They bite! Not fun! This one looks very dangerous...

    Re your question on Ocala DP: I admit to nothing!

    I'll confess I'm scared of geese, they are mean :/

  20. RedPatApril 5, 2011 at 2:32 PM

    They can certainly be mean. I thought that he was after you in the 1st shot - you would be in big trouble if he was!

    We have a lot of Canada geese here as well. The couples stay together their entire life. It's great to see them swimming with their chicks between them. One of the parents swims ahead and the other at the back of the row of chicks.

    I guess I’d be a little miffed, too. I would not have thought these guys would be so territorial. They really mean business from the look on that angry one’s face. Great captures...but then your shots are always great captures. Hope you are having a good week up there in the northland. We are freezing gain down here...cold and very windy. Will it ever end???

    It is that time of year! All the displays, and the songs - we think they are for us, but they are really to stop those pesky invaders!!

    were you stealing their eggs?

    Our geese don't fly, but when they charge at you, it is very frightening.
