Bottoms up!

Rather unusual to see Canadian Geese do this.

Proud parents

The members of the plant world aren’t the only ones displaying new blossoms this time of year. Here are a pair of proud parents parading with their new spring “buds” too.

More Canadians

If it ever happens that I don’t get excited about watching and listening to Canadian Geese, I hope someone will begin CPR immediately!

(A cold February morning on the Clark Fork river.)

 

“I must go where the wild goose goes”

Well…. maybe not today!

“Not me!”

“You go first!”

(It was -9º F this morning.)

“Me and my shadow”

When I first saw this guy on the river yesterday I thought there would be no chance to get a shot at him, especially with the brush between us, but I really wanted to get both the goose and his shadow, so I tried. After about half an hour I was able to convince him I wasn’t there and was able to ever so slowly move into position. It’s unusual to see a single goose and also for him to stand in the water like that along this stretch of the river.
