And wild birds

[summer_jackel]

This almost feels like cheating in terms of scoring wild bird photos, but I am not complaining. This Ross' Goose lives in a pond at the suburban park near Kyn's house. S/he has chosen a mate from the domestic Greylag flock resident in the pond, and has apparently been there for years. I say: awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!







With its domestic partner.




Since it is a wild bird that has chosen to live in a domesticated setting and not an intentionally kept exotic, it apparently counts for the purpose of birdwatching life lists. Cute goosey yawn!!!!!

Thank you! It really helps to have a subject who isn't nervous about being really close to me.

Awww. This is a really cute goose. I'll take her over the gaggles of Canada Geese I deal with at the NIH every day.

Them and me have an understanding. They get out of my way, and I'm not going to threat display at them. ;>

This one, on the other hand, looks like all she wants to do is mind her own business and be a goose. And look cute in photos.
