Title: Goose Haven
Post by: FinsnFur on May 23, 2010, 12:39:26 AM
Stumbled on these fellers today driving from one fishing hole to another. I dont know what it was about this field but there had to be at least 100 geese setting in it basking in the sun.
I drove by the biggest group half stunned and gawking before I decided, I better get a pic of this further down the road.

It got extremely hot and muggy here today and I can't imagine things being too pleasant out in the open field like this.

Then we got to our new fishing hole and this guy tried getting a lil fresh with me. :sad3: He came swimming over towards me like he'd known me forever. I actually had to wave the tip of my pole in his face and make stupid sounds to get him to get the "L" away from me. Boy that was weird. :confused:

I was gonna take a pic of a bunch of baby geese here but I figured it wouldn't be very outdoorsy with the mall in the background.  :rolleye:

Was that a Greebe :shrug:.  They are cool.   The geese looked to be enjoying the heat.  That big snow storm we had took it's toll on the little ones as I have seen six sets with only one little fella. :sad:

Jim,

I think that is an obama bird - black, all wet, and looking for a handout from someone that works!

So they are doing this with their goose lings uh? I guess I never looked close enough or noticed that. I'm not much of a water fowler. So this is normal?
