Canada Geese can be unwelcome visitors, noisy, messy and overstaying their welcome. But they can make for wonderful subjects too. I came upon this bird last fall as the leaves were changing and the light was soft. These photos were taken at our favourite reserve, a place I’ve only visited a few times this spring. With the below average temperatures and the flooding this month many of the paths are under water. The nearby river is slowly beginning to recede but it will be a several weeks before we’ll be able to walk the park in its entirety.

This goose is introduced – and very much thriving! – in the UK, and just in the past couple of weeks, I’ve seen single pairs flying – noisily!!! – over our neighbourhood.

They can be messy and noisy and still I find them appealing. They seem to be appearing in a larger number of countries now.

I love these photos! I went to a college where I didn’t go a day without seeing at least a dozen geese (and I recently graduated) so I somewhat lost appreciation for their beauty. They really are gorgeous though! (And so are your photos 😀 )

Geese do make nice subjects especially when posed near the water like these two shots. Very nice!

Thanks Ellen! Geese against a nice background or in flight do make nice subjects.
