Field Notes

Habitat:

This goose is from a group of about five geese that live in a small lake surrounded by a development of town houses in Martinez, GA. They share the lake with several mallard ducks.

Notes:

The Canada geese tend to bully the smaller mallard ducks. If you try to feed the ducks the geese will charge them and even bite them! Then, they will gladly eat the food themselves, and sometimes they will hiss at you!
