This Magellan Goose(Chloephaga picta)took a good look
at his pool behind him, where people expect him to have fun and started dreaming.. "How good would be if I was
swimming in a real lake, swimming freely, swimming I would be, swimming away... Swimming.."

The Magellan Goose or Upland Goose (Chloephaga picta) is a South American member of the duck, goose and swan family Anatidae. It is in the shelduck subfamily Tadorninae.

They are found in open grasslands

Hi Everton

Great pose of this Upland Goose - I saw a lot of these in the Falkland Islands - the main pub/hotel in Port Stanley is also called 'The Upland Goose'.

Everton:
Nice photo. I love the look (he)or(she) was giving you.
Actually I think the goose was saying "Hey Buddy do you think you could sneak me out of this place"

Hi Everton,
Poor goose to live in this confinement. The goose and environment are well seen. Very well done.

Hi Everton,

Your title is perfect. That's just what the look on his face and in his eye seems to say. A cute pose. Interesting plummage and nice natural colors.
