Branta canadensis

While very few people love the Canada goose since it eats the grass and poops everywhere in parks and other public areas, it is interesting to observe them more in their natural habitat. In our kayaking we have seen many nesting pairs, and it is funny to see how the females duck their heads and try to look invisible. It will be fun to see the babies, though I am a little nervous about getting attacked by a protective mom or dad =).

I didn't realize they ever try to look invisible, but that makes sense. They could blend into their natural environment fairly well...compared to the green grass in public parks! :)
