The Geese are Back on the River
The Geese are Back on the River, I like watching the geese landing on water, just like the Pelicans, they use those large webbed feet to skid across the water as if they are sliding into home every time.
This group was flying low and coming right at me. They swooped up just as they got close. I think it was looking right at me.
This one was flying over a little ice on the water, amazing how they can just touch the water with the wing tips at times.
Now this one, I am going to guess it is a snow goose, but it may be a pet to someone. It was in a field by some grain bins. It looks a little plump for those small wings. Eating a tad to much corn maybe.

Beautiful!
Thank you 🙂
I love to watch the geese come in for a landing. They are always loud with their honking, then make that skid and splash, then seem to regroup in a matter of seconds. I don’t see the ducks flying overhead in flocks like that, just by themselves mostly. I’ve never seen a snow goose so nice to see your close-up of it. Yes, a little too much corn and not enough walking, er waddling around.
And it is so fun to see a flock of geese land together, they are usually in sync.
Yes, I always marvel at them coming in for a landing. Elizabeth Park always has a lot of geese coming in for a landing – I looked at my photos today. There were more than I captured, but they soon spread out on the surface of the water – I was amazed how many there were.
Geeses! How lovely.
Great pictures! In the first one they look like they are water skiing. Why do I think they would be much better at that water sport than most humans myself included.
Yes Beth, me to. They glide so effortlessly across the water, they make it look like fun.
Yea The flying poop machines are back. I guess they’re ok as long as they stay on the river.
Great pictures by the way

I am going to say all birds are flying poop machines, you should see our cars in the late summer when berries are out. We have purple poop on the cars. 🙂
That’s something, but the geese around here can really mess up a field
Nice photos, Sandra. I am so glad the geese are moving south. We had close to 50 around when they finished their hatch on our pond.
That is a lot for a pond. They seemed like they were gone around here for at least a month.
They really had big hatches this year. Come next spring a lot of them will settle in the lake about a half mile away. I just hope they don’t reunite in our field.
Fantastic photos!
Thank you very much. 🙂
Nice photos! Especially the shots with the geese flying!
