This is one of a family of four Canadian geese that visit our apartment complex each year to raise their young. They fit in well with our resident Mallard population that stays with us all year. I look forward to the adult geese stopping by and havin 2-3 goslings each year. The chicks grow incredibly fast and are only slightly smaller than their parents right now. Since they return each year they know they're safe with us and come running just like the ducks. All four geese were within 10 feet of me when I singled out this plump specimen.
Here's another fat Canadian Goose which I took at a place called Orrell Water Park, about 15 minutes drive from where I live. They are indeed very tame.
