Bold Canadian Gosling
It’s always nice when you can get up close and personal with the goslings. Extremely successful at living in human-altered areas, Canada geese have proven able to establish breeding colonies in urban and cultivated areas, which provide food and few natural predators. The success of this common park species has led to its often being considered a pest species because of their depredation of crops and their noise, droppings, aggressive territorial behavior, and habit of begging for food (caused by human hand feeding). This little Gosling was not afraid of us and approached, even though we had our dog in tow.
