Geese
This photo was taken 2/26/17 at Hugh Macrae Park in Wilmington, NC. This photo shows two Canadian Geese swimming in a pond with one dunking its head in the water. This process is known as neck dipping and is part of the geese mating ritual. The geese will alternate dipping their necks and heads under water for several minutes to show interest in mating. If the geese like what they see they will progress to next steps of spreading their wings, stretching their bodies and flapping their wings. After these steps they move on to copulation. During mating season this can happen up five times a day. #image2
