Took a road trip today and stopped at a lake and found these Canadian Geese, they let me get around 40 or 50 feet to them (very slowly) and I was able to get lots of pictures of them. I think several of them were showing off.
The lone white duck was just sitting there about 10 feet from the geese hanging out. Guess they took him under their wings.

a common mistake is to refer these geese as "canadian geese". THey are actually called "Canada Geese". Beutiful just the same.
Every year thousands land in my back yard to rest and feed.Drives the dog crazy. I alway hate to see them rise as as simgle group and head for parts unknown. They always circlle the fileld before leaving to pick up any stragglers. The field will be left covered with poop - I found out the hard way.

A common mistake is to not use a lower case letter instead of an upper case one for the first word of a sentence.
Canadian Geese refers to multiple geese whereas Canada Goose refers to a single goose. Technically they are Branta canadensis and yes that second word of the Latin name is supposed to be lower case. If I were to use the Latin term not many people would have known what I was talking about despite the picture, so I used the common vernacular for the name instead.
While we are at it, it is They not THey. Beautiful not Beutiful. There is a space after a period before starting a new sentence. So ... feed.Drives ... should actually be ... feed. Drives ... It is simple not simgle. Circle not circlle. Field not fileld. Basically if you are going to correct somebody else on their mistakes, make sure your own house is in order first.
