This hybrid Canada Goose has been hanging around Fishtrap Creek Park for a while. It is a large goose with it's distinctive head markings and a high riding backend make it liking to have had a domestic goose in it's heritage.
It seems so long since I have seen a Canada Goose. These ones will have to wait a while before the lake in Hermitage Park here is finally open. They were intently watching my friend Bernd while I took this shot from another angle.

One lone gosling accompanies its parents on the pond. I wonder what happened to the others, as usually they hatch more than one egg.
Yep, this is what a stupid Goose looks like, 30 feet up in a tree laying eggs WITH a Red Tailed Hawk nest a few doors down one way and a Great Horned Owl nest the other way.
I had to go by a few days in a row because I could not believe my eyes.
And I thought Robins were the dumbest birds when they walk on cement, stopping and looking to see if worms were moving in THE CONCRETE!
You just can't make this stuff up...

This Canada goose kept putting its head into the flowing water of a dam's spillway and coming out with vegetation to eat.
As I watched, I wondered whether the plants were growing under the surface of the waterfall, or flowing downward in its current. Either way, I'd never seen a goose do this!
Geese cross this street regularly, and Vancouverites are quite used to having to stop for them. Sometimes they'll be escorting 50 or more goslings. So cute!
(Folks, here's a hint in case you've forgotten: Gander is the name of a male goose, like drake is a male duck)

More families at Hedges Creek Wetlands the day before Mother's Day. This photo has Dad standing proud and some of his goslings, the others having gone off into the grass with Mom not far out of frame.
