i thought you were alone,
but there were two other geese
roaming the field,
and when we walked by
you called out loudly
to them?
to me?
we were all at attention,
your intention was clear–
i walked by gently,
loving you from a distance

Yes, you’re right Tom. People complain about their droppings and I find it ironic since it’s us who are taking their natural spaces away. I think they are such formidable and beautiful birds.

Fearless protectors of their domain. Or, as my son would say, ‘Bad-ass!’

I’ve seen them team up against hawks and turkey vultures (both birds that I love). They are truly bad-ass.

No one talks as much as a Canadian Goose, Sylvia. You captured it. Love it when they fly over in their massive Vs moving north and south, honking the whole way. –Curt

Near our home in “the country” (it’s becoming increasingly urbanised) … there is this massive new subdivision going in. It was the former habitat of geese and amazingly they have “stood their ground” … clung to what little natural land is left of theirs and manage to navigate their way through traffic. They are heroes to me – I see them as kind of stoic refugees. I’ll try and get some photos as I’ve been wanting to document them for awhile.
