Strike a Pose, There's Nothing To It...
There's a pond a the end of our street which has become a "Summer Home" to well over 100 Canada Geese . This time of year, they wreak havoc in the park, spending their days pooping, preening and procrastinating. And boy what a mess! Thank goodness it isn't our water supply, as we may have to hire some Trumpeter Swans to scare them away, as did one of the neighbouring towns!! What's interesting is that prior to the 1950s there wasn't much of a goose population to speak of in all of North America. Since then, the population has exploded by more than 8-fold. Obviously they are quite used to people as this striking creature let me get within 4 feet.

Great portrait of that bird! His cousins poop all over Eagan, too. Sometimes, I even have to watch where I walk in my office parking lot!
