Joel Dinda's photos with the keyword: goslings

Fleeing from our attention. Another photo from our visit to Maple River a few days back. Personally, I like Joan's photo of this family better.

I'd worked late on the day I took this photo, and there were geese all over the parking lot. Grabbed the camera, and started snapping pix. Evidently I got too close to this family for papa's comfort zone. Sometime in the spring, 1991. Camera: Minolta Freedom 100

Found at work this morning.... The goslings are growing up, and they've taken to parading around the campus.

Joan told me yesterday she'd seen baby geese out by the pond, so I set out to get a picture during today's lunch break. I found them in the grass between the parking lot and the marsh. The adults saw me coming and began herding the goslings to the pond. Three of the little ones followed mom into the water; three more hit the water with dad. The seventh waited until he was personally convinced I was a threat. In a few weeks the parents' strategy will change . -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Working beside a wildlife refuge has its attractions.....
