Thank you for your comments. We have the same problem here too :)
We get lots of geese here on Lake Merritt in Oakland. They make a mess but they're charming inhabitants of our neighborhood. A couple of weeks ago, I saw traffic come to a standstill at a 3-way intersection as a group of about 50 geese waddled from Athol Park to the Lake. I wish I had my camera... a true Kodak moment.
Thanks for leaving a comment, livelonger. By the way I love your pen name! I hate it when I don't have my camera for moments like that too! What a sight that must have been!
I am not much of a photographer but over the last year have taken to always carrying my digital camera on walks. I have amazed myself how many great photos I have taken of things like butterflies and flowers with just a small digital camera. I have managed to get a few record shots of noteworthy birds with it too.
We have a few birds stop by. We enjoy all the birds in our yard. You can see them on my hub and believe me I have taken a picture of all of them. Today I tried to get a picture of the pilated woodpecker but couldn't get one.
No park but bushes and trees around my street. I love birds!

Nice picture. We have quite a few ducks and more Canada geese than we need in our neighborhood. The town passed an ordinance prohibiting the feeding of birds at the pond in the park because the neighbors complained they were attracting too many geese.
