Canada Goose
The Canada Goose, although a common species in northern Illinois, sometimes finds itself in an uncommon background. A big wind, a little water, and a setting sun all help to create the background patterns.

This Canada Goose swimming along the canal presented an interesting angle. Conventional wisdom recommends against butt shots. The angle and the reflections seemed like a nice image.

Canada Geese skimming the icy Fox River just inches from the thin layer of ice. The middle of the river had open water with ice floes slowing making their way down river. Occasionally, a goose would land on the ice flow and ride it for awhile. Nice but cold day for a walkabout!

Canada Goose Sometimes, it’s easy to forget about improving images of common species. I have many images of Canada Geese, but when I get the opportunity to improve a bit, I try to take it.

This Canada Goose looks intent.

One More Snow You’d think the Canada Goose would have stayed south longer this spring.

Canada Geese Today’s walkabout was fairly routine until noticing this couple. They were very quietly waiting along the shore. Little ones should be coming soon. In order not to disturb them, I had to walk very wide of my normal path and use my long lens. Again, the 810mm focal length, provided by using the Nikon 1 V1 with a 70-300mm lens, came in real handy.
