I went back to the park, and after some hunting, found the flock of
Canada Honkers. In their midst, once again, were the pair Bar Headed Geese.
Locally, they have turned into significant celebrities, with regional
TV coverage, and folks coming from hundreds of miles around to see
them. The "experts" tell us that they are not likely zoo escapees.
It's more likely that they are simply way off course! (How they got
from China to here, is beyond me!)
I don't know how long they'll stay, but I'll keep working with them
as long as they do.
I won't bore everyone with large numbers of photos... for other than
some birders among us, I expect few really care.
However, I did get one shot, today, worth sharing. Sadly, although
the eye is tack sharp, it appears a bit muddy due to some
out-of-focus grass between myself and the goose.
The Goose-de-jour can be seen at:

where it itches")
Comments, good or bad, appreciated, as always.
Thanks for looking.
Cheers!
PS: For those who missed the earlier posts, we have a pair of Bar
Headed Geese here in Logan Lake. They're native to Central Asia,
normally wintering in India & Burma.
