This Canada goose happens to be very mad. Not only that, he is mad at US! Here he is sizing us up as we pass in the car.
I think we were intruding on his space because we were not going fast enough.
So he began running beside us, putting his neck in the fighting position, and sticking his tongue out. We were only birdwatching, but this bird did NOT want to be watched.
Phil thinks it likely that his mate had a nest close by, and he was defending it. Good Dad!
Enough with the stress, birdie, we're OUTA here!

I would be glad I was in the car and not walking!
Wow, that was one angry bird! hahahaa... Yes, he is a good husband/father, no doubt about that!
Good thing you were in a car and not walking by. I've heard they can get very aggressive.
I like your quote saying that it's okay to get angry, I'm trying to temper my anger nowadays as it seems there is so much that is wrong in the world.

Yep, he's upset that you two are stepping too close to his territory. This time of year, Phil's right...nesting season.
I have had experience with these protective parents in waiting. Great captures!
Wow, he sure does look mad! I've heard they can be really mean. I'm glad you were in the car and not out walking!
Yes, that male goose is very angry and very protective. I have been chased by geese before and they can run very fast!
I agree with Phil, it is mating season, he was either looking for love in all the right places OR proteting what came of the looking for love
I have been to a park before when they are there and they do get mad and they scare me!
That was quite an encounter you had with the goose. Great pictures.
Those Canada geese can be crazy! We have a lot of them around here and yes, they get aggressive when there is a next nearby!
Hehhhhhh....
He looks like me, today.
Why?

We used to have nasty geese in a park nearby. I'm glad the new ones are friendlier!
That's funny. I had one chase my car once. Gave me a good laugh.
Glad you were in a car. I think you may have been bit otherwise!
A good Daddy indeed! And I agree with Mari, good thing you were in the car!!
:-) Great photos my dear friend.
Love, Carla
Haaaha you rattled his/her chain but good! Yesterday Erica and I were taking a walk in my neighborhood and what do you know, there were two Canadians identical to yours, just hanging out pecking for worms in a random yard. I've been walking in my neighborhood for over fifteen years and have never seen a Canadian goose on the ground. First time for everything, I guess. They acted like we weren't even there. xoxo
