Canadian Goose Resting

 

White Snow Goose Hiding
(this goose was left behind after the winter migration, it is seen often hanging out
with a Canadian Goose couple, who nest and raise there young at this location
by the fishing deck down the main road, at first the Canadians would chase him
away, now they tolerate it, when the Canadian geese are gone he hides in the
tall grasses across from the fishing deck, I believe he cannot fly but can still
 swim and catch fish etc, in the pond, hopefully, it will survive the predators.)
