Swans and Geese

 Reflections of Trumpeter Swans and Canada goose

Lots of water fowl like to hang around with Canada Geese! Maybe they feel safe since some (most?) geese are extremely noisy if they see anything that could mean danger.

    Both are beautiful birds, but swans are always a special treat to see.

    Noisy? Boy! You got THAT right. Yesterday, at the canal, I could even hear them pulling up the grass en masse. :-)

    The pair in the first photo are definitely involved in a very deep conversation over some subject. Maybe that goose??

    I guess now that you say that I guess it does seem like lots of waterfowl hang out with the geese.

    That is probably true, the geese are loud. I love the swans!
    Great shots, enjoy your day!

    I didn't know about swans wanting to hang with geese. We don't seem to see swans around here.

    Beautiful photos. I enjoy seeing swans and there aren't any in our area of the province.

    Fantastic shots! You captured the waterfowl and blue water well.

    In that first shot it looks like their doing their trumpeter swan dance...I think your reasoning about other fowl hanging with the swans is right on! I tried to hang on to a swan one time and the darn thing bit me! That's when I wrote my swan song.

    I like your reasoning, EG! I wouldn't want to take on a swan any more than a goose though. They are big birds!

    The Trumpeter Swans are quite different to the Mute Swans I normally see. Nice to see them.

    It's a surprise to see Canada geese dwarfed by another bird. I'd never thought of them as Nature's alarm system.

    Oh. I've notiCed that before and wondered. Your reason sounds logical. Pretty pictures ... I love when there are great reflections like that ... Mirror images of the beautiful birds!

  38. RoseJune 23, 2015 at 11:09 PM

    I do wonder what they think when they are together...is there eye contact or do they totally ignore each other?
