Having a hissy fit
I know this is "just" a Canada Goose, but I love taking photos of these birds. Yesterday, at the Zoo, this male was standing his ground on the path in the Canadian Wilds area, and if someone happened to get a little too close for his liking, he hissed and hissed. I should add that no, he wasn't hissing at me, as I kept at just the right distance from him. What many people didn't realize was that his mate was up on a low roof just a few feet away, busy moving leaves and branches to make her nest. He was just being a good, protective partner : ) Because he was standing right in the middle of the narrow path, there wasn't much room to pass by him and it was easy for people to get a little too close for his liking. Thought it was interesting to see his tongue. The bill has lamellae, or teeth around the outside that are used as a cutting tool. You might just get to see another photo of him sometime - I took far too many shots, LOL.
