Canada Fuzzies

While visiting the Blue Ridge Mountains recently, I had the opportunity to photograph these Canada Goose goslings. The photos were taken over several days at two different lakes and of two different flocks.

There's Something On Your Chin

Ice Breaker

A pair of Canada Geese were cleared for landing and one touched down on open water, but this unsuspecting goose hit the ice. It must have been a big surprise, because as soon as it hit, it bolted up like a rocket! The second attempt was no better as it once again hit the ice and broke through. I didn't include the follow up photos, but after the second landing, the goose gave up and simply forced its way through the ice which was thin enough to give way under the weight. It finally made it to open water. Personally, I think this goose might have been hittin' the bottle during the inbound flight.

Cut My Bill In Half

Notice the goose on the right. I'm not sure how it would survive that way, but obviously it has so far. (Click to enlarge.)
