Canada Goose

12 years 3 weeks ago #217539 by bhowdy
I usually don't photograph Canada Geese .... in my mind they are "park birds". This image was taken at Kyker Bottom TWRA Refuge, so it is a wild bird. I was enjoying a game of hide and seek with this goose .... it wasn't very good at the game! But the resulting image interested me.

Managed a very sharp eye, with catch light thru the reeds and caught a reflection ..... fun for me.

Very nice image..... :judge: :judge:

You will not be judged as a photographer by the pictures you take, but by the pictures you show.

The Canada Goose is a bit of an enigma. There are "residential" and "migrating" groups. I believe the big difference is food supply. They do make great practice for beginners in wildlife photography and even some interesting shots for pros like this one demonstrates.
Well captured.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.
