First shoot with my new camera! I had to do a lot of adjusting, but I’m really happy overall. And there were baby geese! A family with a bunch of babies. I was very thankful for my zoom lens, since the parents were NOT going to let us close to their babies. They even tried to cross the street at one point, a man and his son were trying to stop cars, but they must’ve decided it was too scary and went back. We saw the swan again, with all the geese and ducks at the usual spot. There was also one single grey goose- he was obnoxiously loud.

Tons of picture this time, I know, but I was just loving the camera!

I'm watching you! No coming near my babies!

TOO cute

Cowbird

Lots of fish in the lake, must really be spring now!

One of the kids feeding the geese dubbed him "loudmouth"

Geese are strange

I've been informed that he's a snow goose. He was all alone though.

They don't look very elegant when they eat.

Incoming!

When they spread their wings like that they look like the swan boats

Make way for.... goslings

Beautiful day for Easter! We decided to stop at DW on the way home from church, just to walk around for a while. The swan was right up at the front of the lake! It must be used to being fed, it was just cruising along checking out what was going on. I got some great shots of the Canada geese and ducks too, in the same spot as last time.

It looks kinda of like a turkey, doesn't it?

Too bad its head is so dirty.
