Seems two geese have landed on the pond and Mama and Papa Geese are not one bit happy. I have to warn you, everything was happening so fast I could not get a good shot but here is what I did.
The guests (and I say that tongue in cheek) are landing on the back side of the pond. That's a good distance from me so it's hard to get decent pictures from there with my camera.
Papa Goose swims over to investigate
One of the 'guest' take flight
And, lands closer to the nest than Papa Goose likes.
Papa gets busy and chases them both off while Mama gets busy settling into her nest.
By the way, I can't tell if there are goslings in there or not. Time will tell.
Again, I apologize for the poor quality of these pictures. I did the best I could with things happening so fast. Linking with Wild Bird Wednesday and My Town Shootout
Oh, I love this! Wish I could have been there beside you watching the drama play out! You did good documenting it!
ReplyDeleteIt’s a jungle out there! Upstarts! You did very well with the camera.
ReplyDeleteGlad Papa Goose was able to oust the invaders!
ReplyDeleteBaby geese can swim almost as soon as they hatch, so you will see them on the lake within a day or two of hatching.
Keep us posted!
I love these shots! Geese are so much fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteThis was exciting, Mom! Loved the series of shots and the explanation. Hope there will be goslings!
ReplyDeleteWow, glad you grabbed your camera to get pics of what was happening outdoors. My husband always says everyday is an adventure.
ReplyDeleteNeat! Good job on reporting the scuffle.
ReplyDeleteIt's the story that counts, not the quality of photos!!!!! What a tale.

We used to live on a lake and watched this kind of drama often ...and never ever got pictures of the action as well as you did. Since Mr Goose was defending his territory so well I’d bet anything that there are goslings....hope they all survive and look forward to future pictures ... I miss seeing them in real life!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful week!
No need to apologize, Latane, as trying to get good shots of birds in flight is always difficult. We are starting to see the Canada Geese on the river below our apt and soon expect to see goslings as well. Hope you get to see them too.
ReplyDeleteWell done with your shots ...
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Latane, nice pictures.
