On the morning of May 15th I went to North Glenmore Park to try and expand/improve on the photos I'd taken the previous day there. During my 2 visits to the park, there turned out to be far too many photos to put all in one gallery. So, the photos are split into 3 separate galleries; this one, and 2 others of various birds from May 14th and 15th. The Canada Goose family pictured in this gallery didn't seem to mind me getting fairly close for some decent close-up shots. In fact they came my way somewhat. I wasn't actually all that close, but definitely closer than the usual with regard to wildlife. When shooting with 700mm of lens, and a slight cropping of the photos here and there, it sure can appear that way. In this 3 part series of North Glenmore park, you can go directly to the first gallery (May 14th/15th) by clicking/tapping here, or the the second (continuation) gallery (May 15th) by clicking/tapping here. Simply scroll down/swipe up to view this current gallery of the Canada Goose family. Enjoy!
Every time I look at these first few pictures, I just can't help but smile. I envision a finish-line ribbon in front of the goslings, that they're racing towards, like in a 100 meter track and field event. Only their version was the 2.5 meter event lol.
