Harv,
Little bit of food each day and those mallards will hang around,and if you like eggs duck eggs are richer plus taste better. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Okay, so with this thread in mind, I put my telephoto adapter on my digital camera and went stalking wild game early in the morning.

Just my luck, there was hardly a creature stirring, but then, out of the corner of my eye I see movement on the far side of the pond. Stealthily, I snap a long-range picture of those elusive geese that have come to frequent our place. Apparently they saw me, too, but this time they didn't fly away. In fact, they daringly came closer!

What great luck! I was able to snap a much better picture at this range -- better than I had ever managed before. But wait! They're still coming at me! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif In fact, they're getting too close for this lense! Holy Cow!!! They're coming out of the water! Do geese eat people!!???

Well, I'm not sure who was stalking who in the long run, but I now have some mighty fine pictures of geese. I've been referring to these fellers as Canadian -- can anybody out there tell from the attached pictures if in fact, that's what they are?

Harv, they sure look like what we call Canadian Geese around here.

I don't know a lot about the Canadian Goose migration patterns. We have lots of ducks, of different varieties, on the stock ponds, lakes, and creeks around here, but in the 6 years I've been here, I hadn't seen a single goose until about a month ago on my way to town there was a flock of them (I'd guess maybe 200) in a field between here and town. Of course I've seen lots of them on the Texas coast and in Alaska, but the biggest flock I've ever seen was in a field in Greenlawn on Long Island about 21-22 years ago. I sure never expected to see that.

A flock of geese to us up here means spring on the way /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gifthan a flock of geese in the autumn means time for hibernation. /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

Ever seen a flock of snow geese in late autumn,now thats a sight to see when there flying against a blue sky line.

Harv, The Arkansas Game & Fish realeased about 35 or 40 Canada geese here in our City pond and they stay here year round. They even nest here. They built nest platfords about 4 feet above the ground for them to protect the nesting hens from pedators. I will try to get some pics when they start nesting.
