Saying Goodbye to the Canada Geese

I have a lot of catching up to do!

It is finally spring, though we really didn't have much of a winter.  Not much snow at all which will cause some issues this summer unless it starts pouring.  Lately we are seeing a lot of Canada Geese coming home.  Here are some photographs from some of our more reccent trips to the beach.

Here are the Canada Geese Visiting Sandy Point on Their Way Back to Central Maine:

These 5 geese flew over to a pond behind us.  We then proceeded to walk to the pond and watched them for a bit.  They were all the way across the pond, but when they saw us, the began swimming swiftly towards us.  I think my dog may have kept them at bay, though she was really oblivious of any other creatures.  I had her at a down-stay as I watched and photographed the birds during their rest stop at this pond.  This pond was located in Stockton Springs, Maine.
