I think he learned his lesson! LoL

One year ago today in a restaurant in Seville, Spain.

They are everywhere and they don't migrate; and they are rude, dirty birds.

Jim, you got that right. We have a killer goose in our neighborhood. The pair wants to nest in our flower beds and if they do you cannot go out the door until they are gone. He will fly right at your face. We had an 85 year old resident chasing one down the street while trying to get her mail from the box. I warned the mowers to watch our for him and they laughed, said he would be afraid of the mowers. Ha! He drove looking backward because he was after them.

This is a better guest. He was half tame.

What kind are good in the roasting pan?

Some wild turkeys in my neighbors yard this morning. I tried to get closer for a better picture but they seemed extremely wary, and fled before I could get a better photo.

Some better turkey photos from a trip to Guatemala a few years back.

What gets me about the Canada Geese is that for some unknown reason, they are protected. You are not supposed to disturb their nest or remove the eggs. If one is one the highway, you could get a ticket for hitting the stooopid bird. Bah!

They don't seem to be an endangered specie in Kansas. Several years ago we had about 5,000 staying here all year long. I wouldn't have any idea how many there are now, but they are in almost every field you pass by. One of our parks was so nasty you couldn't find a picnic table that wasn't covered with their waste. They started fining people for feeding them hoping they would leave the park. There are usually 25 to 50 grazing on the open space behind my house.
