1. I LOVE the one where the crane (?) wing tip is just touching the water.

6. The Great Egret.

I think maybe the low wing was due to the damaged feathers. Poor birdie.

Thanks!

2. These are great fun

and I also think the one with the touching wing tip and the reflections is wonderful. But the last one, the three critters walking side by side just makes me laugh. I envision them wearing bonnets and singing in the Music Man, I'm just crazy like that

5. Funny you should say that. I told my eejit it was like watching a play.

I got several of them marching along together, stopping to talk a bit, then moving on.

I figured the moments they stopped were the spoken dialogue.

3. Nice catch on the egret

But I love the geese, especially the last one.

4. I watched the geese the longest. They were entertaining.

Especially when one walked toward me, fussing the entire way. I backed off a few steps and the goose went back to the group.

7. Years ago I went to Golden Gate Park

That was the day a squirrel ran up my pants leg and a goose attacked me. I had to fend off the goose with my umbrella.

8. No!

You are making that up!



I picked up a chipmunk when I was a kid and it climbed its tail and bit my thumb. But there weren't any geese in the yard.

10. I lived in the mountains of Colorado as a kid

My grandfather used to catch chipmunks, tame them and sell them to the tourists. Shhh, don't tell anybody.

They were cute little fuckers, and very prolific.

9. Oh, golly!

Geese can be mean.

Bet that was a sight to see though.

11. Fortunately, no one was around to see me whacking the goose with my umbrella.

[Solly Mack]

12. Geese will bite. People might laugh, but it hurts.

I know.

[NV Whino]

13. Yes, they make excellent watch critters.

14. I usually keep my distance from geese for just that reason.

But they are fun to watch.
