And back off I did! This was one mad Papa Goose protecting Mama Goose just out of sight to the right sitting on her eggs I'm thinking. He came out of that water squawking up a storm. I beat a hasty retreat.
Ha! great capture! You were brave to get this. I had an angry, squawking goose coming toward me the other evening, so I hurried to the car! I didn't even think of taking a picture!
Goodness- he does look quite upset! But at least he was only warning you instead of attacking. I've seen them go after people and it is NOT pretty when you see the results! Good shot!
