| Canada Goose, giving me the eye |
The scene: a grassy patch alongside a parking lot in Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park. The action: A pair of Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) watching me as I watched them munching young spring-green shoots. Above is a close up of the male goose keeping a wary eye on me as I moved in with my camera. Below is his pretty mate.
It's not unusual to see this species here and there around Rocky Mountain National Park, but they seem to be more plentiful at this time of year. I suppose some are permanent residents, while the greater numbers seen at certain times of the year probably are migrants enjoying a respite before continuing on their journeys.
