Great Blue Goose

Goose and I drove into Applewood today and spotted a Great Blue Heron. I’ve many standing shots of the bird, but I’ve been trying hard to get a full wing spread photo to show rakkity just how big these birds are. At my prompt, Goose jumped out of the truck and yelled really scary things at the bird so he’d take flight. As Goose yelled, I snapped the shot above, and to add context Goose spread his six foot wing span kneeling in about the same spot as the heron.

A Blue Heron and a Blue Grosjean. Nice work!

Great work catching liftoff, and even better bagging a shot of the much rarer Wacton Blueback Goose (alas, like a penguin, and earthbound species … ).

Now all you need to do is perform some Photoshop magic and put Goose to flight too!

Would a fall off a ladder be good enough?

The pictures are fantastic, but the story is adorable. Seems Michael is on an adventure wherever he goes. I guess you need to be prepared for bird mocking when you hang with him.
