She was very patient and let me get lots of photos . . .
Though uncommon, these are surprisingly, not rare . . .
I like the contrast between her and the regular Canada Goose.
Such striking feather colors . . .
The purple reflection in the water is from a house across the pond . . .
A hawk was flying over and she was looking to see if it was a danger to her . . .
No danger - but her friends, the ducks, certainly dove for cover . . .
The blue bill and feet were astounding!
Have you ever seen one of these - or another unusual goose?
I've never seen one of these - tho' I'm keeping an eye out for any Canada Geese that might wish to set up a nursery around our ponds. They are lovely from a distance but like a pack of dogs at close quarters!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photographs. I only get to see geese flying over my home in formation. A lovely sight, but I wish they would touch down nearby to see them up close. I find them to be so interesting. Hope all has been well with you, I have had an extensive blog break...just living and enjoying. Hope to be back in the blogging swing soon.

I love her soft colors!
ReplyDeleteShe is so pretty, and I've never even seen anything like her. Just plain ole Canadian geese is all I've ever seen. ~Lili
