Right now the geese are passing through and they always stop by our Mill Pond, so for the time being they make an easy subject. Hopefully I'll find a bit of inspiration in something else tomorrow but for today this was the best I could come up with...

An interesting side-note: The male and female Canadian Goose look almost exactly the same, with the key visible (to us anyway) difference being that the male is about a pound heavier than the female. (In this case I believe the female is in the foreground.) A pair is believed to mate for life (around 20 years). At one time they were believed to be extinct; a pair was spotted in Rochester, MN in 1962 and they've been growing in population ever since. Many communities in Minnesota ban feeding them as they can be a nuisance, but as far as I know thus far it's still legal to do so in New London...
