While strolling on a trail tonight, I came across a family of Canada geese grazing. |
|
Some babies seemed to be curious about me. |
|
I carry a few slices of wheat bread in my camera bag for moments like this. |
|
Other babies seemed to be indifferent to me until I started throwing bread crumbs. |
|
Then the feeding frenzy began! |
|
Nom, nom, nom... |
|
Nom, nom, nom, nom... |
|
Nom, nom, nom... |
|
Sometimes their eating habits weren't exactly polite. |
|
I liked their wrinkly necks. |
|
There were seven babies, all identical. |
|
But I bet their parents could tell them apart. |
|
Luckily their parents were protective or I would've grabbed one of the babies and smothered it with smooches! |
|
What are you thinking about, little guy? |
|
They ate every single plant around. |
|
But they did prefer my bread to everything else. Grass must not be all that tasty. |
|
They started coming after me, which their parents blamed on me and hissed at me to back off, so I tried to back away, but the kids actually chased after me! |
|
I may have accidentally beaned one or two with bread crumbs, but it was entirely unintentional. |
|
Nice family. |
|
They're just starting to get real feathers on their wing nubs, but I prefer the baby fuzz look. |
|
Check out those cool galoshes. |
|
Really, what's cuter? |
