Didn't have a good zoom with me,was hiking today. But got this momma as she was building and arranging her nest. She was not happy to see me. Hissing commenced after this shot~no amount of my soothing tone helped calm her. But I snapped a few of her protective stance over her unborn babies!

Good capture and I really like the subtle hues in this one Ami. A hissing goose is not to be trifled with. Maybe she wanted you to color the eggs. NOT!!
Nice post.

† HAPPY EASTER †

Hey...get that goose away from my breakfast. LOL. Very nice work with this shot. Are you going to color the egg for Easter?
By the way...Happy Easter.

I think you did well to exit without a pinched shin! I can see that she has puffed out her feathers to look even more formidable. Good clarity and very appropriate Spring subject!
