please click on photo to see birdy and his shadow up close
he was so still and so close and I almost rode my bike right past him. the massapequa preserve was quite busy yesterday. I'm guessing this guy had a job to do standing guard. deeper in the woods I could see what looked like his mate keeping her nest warm about twenty five feet from where he stood. and I am probably imagining this but as I snapped a dozen or so pictures while marveling at how he didn't mind me being so close, it really seemed like he was posing for me!

What a great picture..beautiful. The goose was a lucky shot and came out wonderful. Good job..Happy SSS.
Yes, i do spot the bird! what beautiful, and warm photo :)
Now there's a confident Canada goose...must be scouting for a mate...
I believe you are right....he is posing! Looks like a lovely day to ride your bike out & about!
I so love the Massapequa Preserve. A great place for bike riding.
I'm sure that goose was guarding a nest. Long about Mothers' Day every year, there are lots of goslings.
Very nice Shadow Shot!
Beautiful capture ... of a lovely spot and interesting story too ;--)
