Canada Geese chased by Swans again!

This past weekend while trying to walk off some of  the extra calories

consumed on our Thanksgiving meals,

I was privileged to come upon a unique sight.

Each year when the Canada Geese migrate south
and try to establish residence in our local duck pond,
this scenario seems to happen.

I often hear the commotion as the Canada Geese are being
chased off, then hear and see them as they fly low,
honking loudly as they sail over our house.

But I often don't have time to grab my camera,
and actually witness the scenes as I did this past weekend!

Having chased off the Canada Geese that were near
our side of the duck pond,

the trumpeter swan took off to the other side to finish the job,

routing all the Canada Geese off  "swan territory"...
That is...
until they come back tomorrow!

Last year my neighbor, who has a deck-side view of the pond,

had told me what an interesting sight this was to witness.

At her cuing, I was pleased to capture a few extraordinary shots.

Due to the busyness of Thanksgiving activities,

I didn't visit as many blogger friends posts as usual.

Some of these bloggers have a passion and eye for bird photography,

and can be found at Stewart's "Paying Ready Attention" Photo Gallery.
