It was very windy at the lake today (gusts to 50mph.) and the ducks and geese were landbound. So I grabbed my camera and an apple from my truck and went and sat on a new bench. Needles to say, I was the most popular human there today, as the winged critters quickly migrated all around me. Some were so brazen as to get behind me on the bench and actually grab my T-Shirt, and try to eat it through one of the metal slats! Kelly, I hope I don't give you bad dreams about the geese:surrender: When I got near the end of my apple, I bit the core into 3 pieces, and offered it to the geese, being the gluttons they are, one of the younger ones came running, honking and hissing, chasing the others away and it grabbed a piece way too large to comfortably swallow. It kept juggling it around in its mouth, spit it out a few times, picking it back up and trying again, all the while running from others who wanted to steal it from him/her. I wanted to shoot a video of this, but it kept running all over the place. When it finally did get it down his throat you could see on the outside of its neck, the apple core piece slowly going down:yikes: I think one of the geese must know the mean one at your park and told me to send a message to you Kelly. It will be the first pic I put up. It got up to 76 degrees today, tomorrow it will only be in the mid 40's. March came in like a lion, and went out like a lion. Some of the geese got so close that I used macro on one...........nge
 
My pictures did not come out as clear or sharp as these that you are posting. Those are the type, the long neck is the tip off. Hissing and honking is another give away. The monster living at the neighborhood duck pond down here is nice as long as you feed him, once the food is gone, he gets mean and ugly. It appears that the ones that you took pictures of are nice as per se. I wonder why? I would love to be able to sit on a park bench like you just did and have fun taking the pictures. but it is not to be as long as that Freddy Kruger on Elm Street goose duck is living at that pond. Like I said, these are good pictures, thanks for sharing them. Kelley (Texas) :)
 
Looks like you took the first picture while hiding behind something? Was that goose duck going to do something to you? That is sure a peaceful looking place. Thanks for sharing all these pictures...I really enjoyed seeing them. Kelley (Texas) :)
 
The one that I took a pic of through the slats of the bench, is the one that tried to eat my T-shirt through the slats, T-shirt is white and he probably thought it was a piece of bread. I was NOT hiding behind that bench, but instead I was being a bit creative and stuck my lens there on purpose. The long neck "duck goose" you keep referring to, ARE geese, Canadian geese, they do not quack! They honk and hiss. The dog, I don't know what kind it is, except that it may be crossed between a Borzoi and a wolf. It was huge, at first I thought it was a pony from the distance............nge
