Description
Having lived most of my life around these majestic birds, these Canada Geese, I have always had a healthy respect for them. They are large and strong and, yes, they can hurt you. They don't normally but if they feel threatened it is best to keep their strong bills at a good distance. With that said this fellow was guarding his/her nest which happened to sit on the only route I needed to take across a creek bed. So the best I could do was talk calmly to him/her as I passed the foot bridge he/she was guarding. I was allowed to slowly cross and even was able to sneak this up close and personal shot of him/her. I hope the eggs hatched and he/she was able to raise his/her chicks to adulthood.
