ABC Wednesday: G is for geese gulls goons

A gaggle of geese and gulls are harassed by wee ghastly goons.

A gray goose (right hand side below) rises to its full height and becomes garrulous with its great groans and gesticulates at wee goon.

Disclaimer - I'm writing from the perspective of the animals being chased which is silly, of course, but from my perspective I'm sure the children are sweet little darlings. To tell you the truth, my biggest concern is the children will hurt themselves running with sticks. I have complete confidence in the geese and gulls ability to fend for themselves.

Kay L. Davies said...: Beautiful shots, Carver. Yes, I'd be more worried about the children than about the geese, who can certainly defend themselves.

Reader Wil said...: Great to see so many birds together.A few weeks ago we went for a walk and we were surrounded by coots, mallards and swans. They were very hungry and I was sorry not to have taken some bread with me.; March 1, 2011 at 1:35 PM

And yes, let the kids have fun. Those birds have wings and can fly away! The kids should pay attention to the geese, though. Those critters can be nasty!
