It was fun watching the Embden goose chasing the Canada goose. It happened so fast, it was hard to get a good shot. I was waiting for them to go at it again, while my camera was set on sports mode, but they never did while I was there. I didn't like the rear end of the white one being out of the frame. Oh well. Thanks for the views and comments.

Jim, This is a great action shot and very hard to capture so well. You did a great job and even though the backhalf of the white goose is not shown, I don't it matters that much in this one. Kudos!! =^..^= sandi ♪

Very nice shot, Jimbob. You still got quite a good image. Obviously the "Canadian" tried to make a pass at an Ohio lass :)

The Goose after the Geese......I Love It.
I like the fact that One is to the left another in the Center and Big White is to the right.

It required a very quick reaction to capture this scene. Excellent and dynamic 'action' (lol) shot Jimbob. Perfectly done my friend.

Duck, Duck.....GOOSE! Great shot Jim, You must be very quick, I think I would have fumbled my camera and gotten a shot of my feet. I love the looks on the one ducks face (I'm outta here) and the gooses look is so intense. +Favs Wonderful work.

So that is where the term "goose" comes from. Who woulda thunk it. Great action shot JimboB. I like the passive one in the forefront. Live and let live it is saying.

Super shot of ducks and geese in action, I've seen way too many shots of them doing nothing. Great flapping of feathers and frothy water trails...I really enjoy this shot Jimbob!

Great action shot, and it really doesn't matter that you missed the tip of one tail ... you didn't miss the action!

You got enough to have a great picture! Just look at the expression on the white goose's face!
