Canadian Goose Intruder

Forester's Terns protect their nesting site against any intruder, This was one of the more humorous encounters.
This Canadian Goose chose to nest in the same area as the terns so every time it left or approached it either got chased or intentionally crapped on. (yes I have the pictures) :bg3:

-Thanks for looking.

Love the open bill and tongue showing. Has a look of mild panic. A pity that one of the terns is cut by the Goose.

Thanks Colin, I think it adds a bit of dimension to the shot, but I see your point.

Excellent incoming flight shot.

I remember this goose. Not a good spot to nest. They got mobbed by the Terns everytime they flew.
Nice capture of the action and I like the open beak as it tries to get back to the nest site.
Well done
