@brillomick This captures an expanse of about 1/3rd of them in front of me. I came looking for an open space where I could see the clouds hanging over the mountains, but got distracted by the wildlife! Thanks Mickey!
Good grief! You're right! Are there any left in Canada??? This is an awesome find and shot.. This wasn't in your front yard was it??? They must be having a convention....... or a destination family reunion..
yes, keep 'em, we'll send you more. but i'm afraid you'll regret it soon. they poop everywhere, they're loud and if you feed them, they won't leave. don't say we didn't warn you. :-D
I agree with the others. They eat four times their weight every day and poop five times their weight. Average interval between poops: 12 minutes. That's whey we call them Canadian geese.
@golftragic OK...truly I was just joking! A mallard or two for a brief daily visit is all we need! ...BTW...I don't believe I've ever seen you photograph your amazing variety of birds. They may not be of interest to you, but do you have them in plentiful numbers? It is a bit heartbreaking when they hit the windows... : (
@Weezilou Sorry Louise, I don't mind looking at birds casually, but have little or no further interest in them. As for photos, they become a bit same-same after a while. Nah, I'll stick to my own industrial and grungy stuff. As for the geese, your garden wouldn't survive the assault of munch and pooping.
@golftragic ...yep, as I expected to read, but was suddenly curious... It's the variety that people bring to this site that's the reason we follow some and not another!
I am loving the comments! So funny! I have often taken photos of Canadian Geese and never realised the poop problem when there are so many together! I do hope they didn't follow you!
We have much to much of them now. Gooses. They are protected but now they are eating all the grasses and new seeded grows of the farmers. and the number increase by every next year
@allie912 YOUR laugh gave ME a laugh! Who knew that this would take off and garner so much conversation! "Spend hours" or "Grab a Snap"... One never knows what's going to resonate!
@pyrrhula Oh I've seen THAT in action in fields! I'm sure they've become a menace! Rational people might put a few of them on the dinner table during the planting season ; D
@elkereturns Ken says you're right about that! I think he's referring to the local golf course!
@aglennc @stray_shooter @frankhymus @annied @pcarlaw @koalagardens @golftragic @pamknowler Thanks for joining in the fun! I will NOT be bringing any of these home with me!
