I was headed back home today and noticed a flock of canadian geese landing in a school yard not too far from our home. I keep a camera in the back seat so I was able to get a few pictures. They came out nicely. We have alot of canadian geese around our area. They have a black head and neck with white patches on the faces, brown, gray body and large webbed feet. They are a large water bird, weighing up to twenty five pounds and twenty two to forty eight inches in length.
These geese can be quite aggressive, a couple of the larger birds got agitated by my presence and hissed at me. I remember when my children were young, maybe 3-4 years old, we had a large white goose come out of a lake and preceeded to attack my youngest daughter, who knows what would have happen if I had not been near by.
As you can see, canadian geese are grazers, eat mostly grasses, grains, seeds and aquatic vegetation.

I’m afraid of geese. They make me run like mad every time I visit my aunt. She has a pair…lol ^.^
Hi Sharon,
They can be intimidating especially in numbers!!
Yes they are scary especially when they hiss!
I know what you are talking about!!!
