Misplaced Goose

public.jpeg

This is the Greater White-fronted Goose .. well, Geese. I have not seen any of these geese in Ohio, but they were gathered in large numbers around Richmond, Indiana. At first, I thought they were ducks, but once I zoomed in and could get a better view, I realized they were geese.

The greater white-fronted goose is a medium sized goose. They are usually seen west of the Mississippi, but not on this day!

High Speed Goose

There was two of them, but they were flying very fast and I only managed this one photo. I am not sure I have ever seen geese fly this fast. Fun photograph.

Standing His Ground

Like most geese, this dude was not going to move. We were just walking by, and he wanted to defend his space. I didn’t see anything that he would be protecting, other than his space. So, we did our best to respect him, and move on. :)

Spring goose

I really love these photos. Several mornings last week I took a photo walks shortly after sunrise. It was cold every time. On this day, I saw two geese, slowly floating, or swimming if you will. I took a couple photos of them, then suddenly they took off. I focused my camera on the lead goose and captured several photos as they ‘honked’ and flew away. These are the two best shots. Enjoy.

Follow the lead goose ...

There is something special about the way geese fly and swim ... it’s the ‘formations’ that captivates me. I have so many video clips of geese flying. Some may think I’m a little crazy. Every once and a while you will see one or even a few of them start to get off course, and they will make a correction. Their flight seems so intentional and purposeful.  These three geese seemed to have their own destination - they are on the way to someplace.  

By the way, although they are noisy, and often make a mess (they leave a trail wherever they go), they are graceful.
