Short Flight of a Canada Goose

I haven't found it yet, but I suspect that the "Canadas" have a new nest, or the very least a preferred territory that they're staking out. When I got too close this one took off but only flew about 50 feet before touching down again.

@sabanford
Thanks, Shirley. (I have to credit "dumb luck" on this one; for both the timing (holding down the shutter button; click click click) and for the composition (no cropping)

@rob257 Forgot. Minor adjustment to the horizon! ;-)

Ready for takeoff...so nicely timed!
