Injured Goose

Mud Lake, Ottawa, Ontario Canada

This goose has a serious injury to its right wing which prevented it from flying south with the other geese. It has managed to survive our winter quite well, making a number of friends along the way (both other birds and humans, especially those bringing food). Hopefully it will be reunited with its family within the next month.

Great timing on this shot to show the injury this Goose is suffering. That looks pretty serious and this bird is lucky to not have been picked off by a Bald eagle. Hopefully it will be OK.

You've answered the question as to why it stayed, poor goose. Great shot.
