Mother Goose had nothing on this week’s selection of “G-rated” birds!
One local pet goose who dropped by “in the wild” but didn’t forget to beg for treats as well as a lot of Canada Geese in local waterways
After Geese, there are Goldfinch, the Gray Catbird, and the Grosbeak (Rose-Crested) — and of course, gulls of all kinds. I think that’s pretty much it.
And a Rose-Breasted Grosbeak
Gulls on the shore in Maine. This was taken with the first digital cameras I owned. It was an early Canons. It took good pictures that I keep because I can’t reproduce them. Times have changed. On this monitor, it was extremely grainy. It gave me a chance to try out Topaz’s “severe noise” filter. It worked wonders! Best filter I’ve ever had. It cleaned up 9-years of noise from an old 8 ppi photograph and made it smooth as silk!
What a nice selection of “G” rated birds! Beautiful goose pics. Your Rose-breasted Grosbeak looks like he is up to no good and unsure about what to do about it. LOL! 🙂
That little (not SO little Grosbeak looking like an American flag bird. The right colors and those splotches on his back look like stars. he was quite a little character.
This just gave me the chance to try out my new “severe noise” filter on this old gull shot (from 2013 in Ogunquit). I also just realized I forgot to put up the logo for it, to I went back, fixed the last photo AND added Lisa’s logo. G-rated birds. Even the children can watch them!

The rose-breasted grosbeak is a new one to me. I wouldn’t mind meeting it in the wild

I really love your goosey pics, especially the Canadian geese in a row with some flowers in the foreground.

They walk in lines. Swim in lines. Even the babies line up and even when they are just barely able to swim. it’s very cool.

🙂 “Ducks in a row.” I guess “geese in a row” also.

Geese are much more organized than ducks. Geese are really well-organized.

All of these were good local shoots. I can’t remember anything else, but I remember where each picture was taken and what I was thinking about.

A single Canada Goose flew by my 6th floor, city apartment, honking. Odd but wonderful.
