[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This Canada Goose looks almost prehistoric halfway to his adulthood. They still exhibit their childish behaviour at this age though.

The diet of the Canada Goose includes green vegetation and grains. The Canada Goose eats a variety of grasses when on land. It feeds by grasping a blade of grass with the bill, then tearing it with a jerk of the head. The Canada Goose also eats grains such as wheat, beans, rice, and corn when they are available. In the water, it feeds from silt at the bottom of the body of water. It also feeds on aquatic plants, such as seaweeds.

NOTE: focused slightly and cropped

Hi Trevor

Hello Trevor,

One just has to think of the 'Ugly Duckling' when considering this shot! It looks so ungainly compared to what it is going to become!

Lovely sharp image containing lots of details of texture, colour and purpose.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)
