"CANADA GOOSE SUN BATHING".

I've gone close to a Canada goose but never as close as this time. It was a warm SUNNY day. And, this one came to the heated asphalt to get warmed up. I kept clicking & clicking and each time getting closer and closer to it. This portrait was taken at a distance of 1 foot away from the bird. IT WAS SO RELAXED. I could have "touched" it. But, I dared not. It can inflict a nasty wound if and when bothered too much.

Here you can see my experiences with this species in #s 1, and 2.

These two were looking for a nesting sight by the river.

And, this one is sharing its quarters with a beaver in a beaver pond.

Hello Mario
You had to be standing quite close and looking down at this one.Lucky You!
Yes, the sunny sun gives a great lighting and good details on the plumage.I like the way it has spread its relaxed wings.
Well done.
