This Mandarin Duck got far too close to the Egyptian Goose goslings for one parent’s comfort (or was trying to get in on the feeding going on) and got chased off.

Egyptian geese are dicks. My mom has a small colony that hang around her place, and all they do is hiss and honk and attack one another.
Lol, sounds like Canadian geese. They can be such dickheads.
At least Egyptians aren’t dicks to humans, or there at least smart enough to realize where their food comes from.
They’re* 🥹
Yeah, swipe text makes some dumb mistakes. For example “some” gets autocorrected to “dinner” sometimes.
Ha! That’s one of the dumb ones I see a lot, agreed. Nevermind the bots’ typical refusal to change the suggested word list after already being corrected.
Yeah, autocorrect is a half-baked tool that’s helped hook the whole of modern civilization on mediocrity & meh. 😅🤫🤓🤷🏼♂️
Canada geese. Only the ones from/in Canada are Canadian Canada geese. ☝🏼
Imagine that honkinator 300 several times your size flying at you with considerable speed …
And that WMD warhead? Your labyrinthine vagina wasn’t evolved to counter that. 🤢
Cool photos. Hopefully I’ll be able to get some better action shots soon. I just upgraded my camera body and hopefully the AF and tracking are much improved. My current body is 13 years old and my AF might as well be blind.
Good luck - given your current work, I look forward to the results.
One thing that took me a while to get used to was the variety of AF modes - from full view to exactly that point, dammit, I don’t care how dull you think it is.
