Silly Goose

When I was entering the local Kohl’s store, I passed this mama goose sitting on a nest in a retaining wall right next to the entrance to the store. People were going in and out almost constantly, but she didn’t seem to mind. The picture on top is obviously a close up, but I included the picture below to show the proximity to the door. Obviously Canada Geese have adapted to our suburban environment. (And yes, it’s Canada, not Canadian.)
I will never forget my job in Carmel, and every day we had to either dodge the hundreds of sticky green land mines they laid by the building , or dodge them hissing and chasing us.

Also enjoyed watching the Maintenance guy banging a shovel against the asphalt chasing them away every day.

I almost miss that.

Well she'll be getting a lot of attention once she hatches.

We had a nest of Mallard ducks in a bush right by our front door...SO cute watching them take off for the creek once they hatched. GREAT capture and story

They have nothing to fear- they're some of the nastiest critters I know of! Anybody who tries to mess with this mama will be sorry! Great capture!

She is sitting so sweet! Canada Geese chase people in my area (maybe they are cranky when they stop in PA).
