Facts About Canada Goose [Branta canadensis]
It is believed that there are as many as 11 different races of Canada Goose. The Canada Goose is often called the Canadian Goose; however, in the ornithological standard, this name is not used. Canada Geese are named for Canada, even though they can be found all over North America. For the local people, the Canada Goose is a very common bird, and we tend to ignore them most of the time. For foreigners, this bird can be very exotic. Just imagine a Japanese visitor chasing our geese with a camera. I didn't have to; I saw it.

Great card.
That's a beautiful chow, well composed and cropped for maximum affect. I don't know how you do it, but you should take these fabulous and have a book made---a commercial book.
I love the write up too. Light, but very informative with just a touch of humor. Well done.
Happy trails
nice to see your fantastic shot of those beautiful Canada geese. I thought they will come down to us over winter?...*smile... send them down, it's a little bit warmer here... it's "only" in the 60's...and we have the heat on, can you believe that? :)
Have a wonderful time and kisses for Matthew,

My India Travel
Such gorgeous Geese! I love the way you capture things: you have a unique form of viewing things around you.
I hope all is well with you and Baby Matt :D!
Cheers
I like these birds.
(japanese tourists are sometimes a bit strange to our eyes:years ago one of them tryed to take a picture of me in Venice,I was moving thinking he wanted to shot the San Marco church,I was between him and the church,but he began to move the camera with me......)
(I wasn't dressed like a goose,of course)
Canadian Geese keep us happy at the lakes. I loooove watching them. :D Beautiful write up.
Happy Holidays!!!
Hugs, JJ
BTW Did you hear that camels are getting out of hand in northern and western Australia, and that they're about spend $19 million to cull their numbers down.
Wishing you and your family all the best for Christmas and the New Year!
Take Care,
Peter
I agree with Swu. I like the writeup, short but informative. And I agree that you should put these in a book or make them commercially available. You might want to make a book that people can buy at Zazzle or one of the other sites that offers multiple products?
Again, have a beautiful Christmas, dear Anna.
How peaceful and friendly the geese look in the picture.... But we never know when they are angry and want to attack us! Oh and careful where you step in their grazing land!!
I have seen Japanese tourists and they probably saw an Indian guy chasing the geese with his camera too... hehehe!
I never knew they should be called Canada geese. Thanks for that tip.
That said... Awesome photo Anna! You know I love your work and your a awesome friend! :)
I enjoy looking both at geese and ducks while floating and playing and diving in the water. I find these lovely creatures very fun and interesting. I like the gees from your photo; they are really beautiful. Your photo is so clear and sharp; it's great as always!
Anna, beautiful duck shots
I love always ducks they are so funny :-)
Unique shots..
Wishing you the same, and more to come. Anna :)
Lynda I think over me, you should publish book first, your writing and photos are so inspirational. However, thanks for the tip.
Again thanks so much for your kind support. Appreciated my friend. Anna :)
Hope you are enjoying this holiday season with Matthew. I bet he is!
I just made a post on one of my other blogs with the chocolate fudge recipe. Have fun making it - it is quite easy.
I wish you a most joyous Christmas!
