This time of year we always have a few geese hanging out on our pond. The pair we have had recently have been very friendly, enjoying the leftover grain from our ducks. Unfortunately a big bully came and chased them away…
I have never seen geese attack each other. They were wrestling in mid-air and the sound was amazing!
All of the geese stayed away for a few days, but the big storm we had on Sunday brought back a big group of them.
Can you see the bully on the right?
He wasn’t happy unless he was chasing somebody, it made for quite the show!
They carried on this way for a couple hours. Finally, the majority of them got sick of his antics and flew off…
I am happy to see that our nice pair is back!
Stories from the Farm 
I feel the opposite about the damn canadians!!! for the past month, atleast a dozen each day have stopped in on my pond….but i got smarter and put out my ducks and pair of tufted roman geese. they dont like that! lol they are scared of them and since then have seen a drastic decrease in the canadian population on my farm. meanwhile my nice domestic waterfowl are loving their long lost freedom they once had on the pond last summer. Hooray for spring!
I feel the same way about big groups, but I don’t mind a pair or two. I love watching them and taking pictures 🙂
Amazing!
Great pictures, were you in a boat or do you just have a great telephoto lens?
Our pond is in the middle of our pasture, so I can walk all around it. The geese were so focused on the bully, that they were ignoring me. I also have a big telephoto lens. Thanks!
I would say he is a bully–wow! He is right up there with the kids that take your lunch money. 🙂
Your photos are stunning… #6 down is my fav. 🙂
Wow!
