We geese are climbing stairs and it ain’t easy for us!
What do you entitled human think?
That stairs are made for you?
Not hardly! We geese have places to go and ducks to see.
What? Now you’re feeding ducks?
What about us?
Silly human, don’t you know?
Treats are for geese~
Cheers to you from the confident geese, handsome ducks, and cluelessly entitled human.

Lovely…the first one almost seem like he/she are crawlig out of the photo and into my livingroom
I am sure she would be right at home there!
She’s very welcome 🙂
Amazing beautiful post Cindy 😀
Awwww, so kind!
You deserve it Cindy 😀
<3
Adorable post, Cindy!
I love when I go down to the lake, and the seagulls are swimming in with the geese and ducks, pretending “I’m a duck, I’m a goose!”
Then when the first morsel of food hits the water, it’s pandemonium and the seagull shows its true feathers, gets the bit and takes off.
2 mins later… “I’m a duck, I’m a goose”! is back.
Seagulls are hilarious, rapacious and quite intelligent. There is a fancy hotel near where I grew up. Silver napkin rings went missing for decades from the al fresco tables. The old hotel bell tower was rennovated recently and they found a huge stash of napkin rings in it. Pilfered by the seagulls because, well, only the seagulls know. Revenge possibly!
Glorious post, Cindy. Do the geese get feisty? I usually avoid geese as a rule because they are aggressive. Love feeding ducks, though. All of your birds are gorgeous.
No these guys were mellow, althoug I too have seen my share of feisty geese. Some people use them as guard geese!
Beautiful!!! Love the one with the blue feet!!! Handsome duck 😊
Aren’t they beautiful. They are called White Faced Whistlers, although I have never heard a whistle!
Cluelessly entitled…hmm…they might be right about us. Awesome birds pictured by an ever so creative photographer!
So kind of you and yep, I think they had me accurately pegged! 😉
That would be me too 🙂
Im moving over …. yep!
Oh good! I would love your company!
You are so kind!
Actually that would be you. Rock on kind ones! Love to you Sheri~
You make me smile my soul sister Holler Haven friend 💫💫💫

Danke, dass Sie meinen guten Freund Klaus und genieBen Sie Ihr Wochenende !
ist ja schön, alles Gute, Klaus
Vielen danke und Frohliche Wochenende Klaus~
danke sehr
Not sure about hand feeding the ducks… don’t think I would want to come into such close contact with that duck bill… looks like it could snap off a finger! Really great photos.
My husband prefers observation too, but I am a hand feed the birds person whenever possible! Never ever been nipped or scratched……
Reminds me of that great song, “Don’t you step on my blue suede webbed feet!” 🙂
Laughing! Plu-perfect!
Certainly worth some goose stepping! Or goosey goosey gander where do you wander. And something about ‘ my ladies chamber! Great photos.
Laughing…..no wonder there are so many nursery rhymes about them. They have such distinct personalities. Don’t you love the way their feet collapse as they step up the stairs!
Yes, amazing creatures.
<3
Great looking ducks and geese. My only question is why walk when you can fly? 🙂 –Curt
I think it was to clarify who has the right of way!
Laughing— I watch nature everyday, as you do Cindy. Someone is always trying to determine who has the right-of-way. BTW, this isn’t relevant to the conversation but it is neat. The neighborhood dogs howl in unison every morning. It’s quite striking. Recently they have been joined by the wild turkeys that live on our property. Woof, woof, woo, gobble, gobble, gobble. 🙂 –Curt
Oh my gosh, if we added our coyotes and cattle, it would be a true symphony! I would particularly like to hear the turkey gooble section of the symphony!
My reader is full of interesting ducks this week. Strange coincidence–or is it some kind of convergance?
It is duck synchronicity! Power to the ducks…….and geese of course!
Hmmm … that looks like kitty kibble! Anyway, birds don’t mind what it is. The robins that visit our front porch have kitty kibble too (including chicken and turkey flavors).
🙂
Ducks and geese are omnivores. They eat bugs and worms in addition to plants and grains. Robins I imagine eat grains and worms/bugs? Duck and geese pellets are probably somewhat similar to kitty pellets albeit with more grains, but I am no expert and am just guessing here…..
Ich finde deinen schön beschriebenen Gänseausflug einfach herrlich anzusehen, liebe Cindy. Ganz tolle Aufnahmen. Habe eine gute Zeit. Ernst
Ich bin so froh, dass Sie die Ganse genossen mein Freund! Ich liebe sie , weil sie uns Menschen in unserem richtigen Stelle und lassen Sie uns nicht das Gefuhl zu sich selbst wichtig! Glucklich Sonntag Ernst~
beautiful !! Did you know that when a goose gets injured in flight, at least two other geese will follow it down and stay with it.
No, I had no idea, but that is truly wonderful. Birds are loyal~
Was that blue-footed bird actually a duck? It is my dream to get to the Galapagos and see the blue-footed booby…Beautiful pics as always Cindy!
Yes it is a white faced whistling duck! Quite a name I know. We saw boobies recently in Channel Islands National Park, two species, one not supposed to be there. Channel Islands reminds me a bit of the Galapagos although I haven’t been to the Galapagos. I hope you go and post your photos of the famous blue footed ones!
ver, very, very, very nice dear!
Why thank you!
Liebe Cindy, schönen Sonntag wünsche ich, Klaus
Danke, dass du mein Freund und ich wunsche Ihnen einen wundervollen Woche!
Woooowwww Beautiful Pictures, big thanks Cindy….💗💗💗
Very pleased you enjoyed them & cheers~
Incredible photographs, Cindy. I wowed the entire way through. The clarity is unbelievable! And I agree with Ann that the first goose looks like he is about to step right on my kitchen table. Great post!!! Love, Amy
He would probably walk over to to your frig, open the door and help himself! Very happy you enjoyed the web-footed ones! 😉
LOL
Oh, they are so funny!
They always crack me up!
Duck folks 🙂
Yes! Perfect!
Thanks for the smiles this morning. Nature at its finest.
When you smile, so do I!
Awwwww…
Oh dear! You have got Wolfie slavering and drooling! Great big fat confident geese….big healthy and handsome ducks… fill the Wolfie belly for many weeks to come! lol 😉 The excitement is overwhelming and self control is proving very elusive all of a sudden! HoooOOOOOooooOOOWWWWWWWWWWwwwwwwwwwWWWWWWLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!! Ohhh the call to the hunt! lol 😉
Laughing!! They are sooooo lazy. They never bother to fly. Wolfie would give them a nice in- flight aerobic experience!!! 😉 😉
Clearly you don’t know the password, that always gets ducks to give way. I’ll tell you for next time, so you can stand up for the whole human race of entitled duck overlords. “Foie Gras.” LOL
Laughing, I am thinking though, that entitled duck over lords might do a better job of running things than us humans! 😉 😉
LOL Possibly… we might all be speaking quack!
Well the political parties would be the ducks and the geese. I am voting goose, so I predict we will be learning honks~
I don’t think I am really able to differentiate geese from ducks.
Here in Indonesia, we only have swan goose, which is very obviously different from ducks.
When I see other types of goose on TV, I usually get confused and say: “wait a minute, that’s a goose? not a duck?”
😀
Laughing. They can be hard to tell apart, although their personalities are fairly distinct, goose being more assertive. Swan goose are beautiful. Heading over to your blog now Hari to see what you’ve been up too~
are lovely your pictures <3
Muchos gracias mi amiga!
The ducks and geese made me smile – and you’re a genius with captions Cindy 🙂
Awwww, your comment made me smile! Cheers to you Polly~
fantabulous!
Our web footed friends agree with you! 😉
Geese are nice until they poop in your yard,
Tis the season for us.
This year we’re going to try a semi-permanent border between our house & the retention pond behind us in hopes that the geese stay out of our yard. We’re not allowed to have fenced in property. So- will see how our low border gets by.
Yes geese and ducks can make quite a mess in your yard. I think the permanent border sounds like an excellent plan. Hope it works~
Beautiful photos and magnificent birds Cindy.
So pleased you are the web footed’s friend!
super cute pics 🙂
Happy you enjoyed them!
Reblogged this on Unchained Emporium and commented:

🙂
Superb!
Awwwww…… ^^’
Lovely shots, Cindy! <3 🙂
So happy you enjoyed & cheers to you my friend! <3
Great shots:)
Mil grazi & cheers~
My boy enjoyed these guys. =) T noticed the feet under the water in that last shot. =) The things kids catch!
Kids see more than adults because they haven’t had to filter impressions yet. I love seeing the world through the eyes of a child! Tell your son I am happy he noticed this! He has an excellent eye for detail~
These geese are my favorite people! I just want to fly with the flock.
That is my prayer.
I am with you 100%! All we need is some fairy dust~ <3
Such cheeky chappies! 😀
That is just what they are! Don’t you just love it!
Love the photo’s , really beautiful 🙂
Awwww, you are very kiind and most appreciated!
