Swans could be agresive too.
Done in Mississauga - Lake Ontario

A native of northern and central Eurasia, the Mute Swan was introduced into North America to grace the ponds of parks and estates. Escaped individuals have established breeding populations in several areas, where their aggressive behavior threatens native waterfowl.

Hola Mario.
Un momento interesante logrado en esta foto. Nunca pense que estos Gansos fueran pelearan, probablente por el territorio.
Bella foto gran calidad.
Saludos Mario.

Hello Mario,

Great capture of these two chasing eachother.
The one on the right really has it's bill in the back of the one in front.
It shows that they are not happy at all with eachother.
Might be some kind of a love fight.
Great clarity, pin sharp and wonderful details.
Very well done. TFS!!!

Best regards and have a nice Sunday, Harry
