Horned Grebe at the Celery Farm
My first ever here. And the spring arrivals are arriving! The grebe was No. 186 on my Celery Farm life…
Just a head's up — I was at the Warden's Watch this a.m. when a Canada
Goose flew in and landed on the path. When I went to leave, it moved
toward me aggressively.
I tried to wait it out for a few
minutes, then tried to walk past it. It essentially flew at me – I
kept it at arm's length with a 400-mm lens and got past. I am thinking
of getting a restraining order…
So if you go out to the Warden's Watch, look out for one nasty goose.
I did not see a nest but one must be nearby.
Boy, the goose does have a “don’t mess with me” face! 🙂
Take that, y’stinkin’ paparazzo! Hope I shattered that 400mm!
