Just a common Ole Canada Goose!

Not a very exciting bird, but I have been trying to discipline myself to photograph the common birds as well. These birds are everywhere, and yet I only have a handful of images as I tend to pass them by in favour of something more interesting. It really hit home one day when I had a request for a Canada Goose, and I barely had anything to submit!
This bird was actually a bit wild(not taken in a city park), and he was flying directly at me until he suddenly saw me, banked and started squawking. These birds drive me crazy when I use my floating blind as they alert all the other birds to my presence.

Killer flight shot in some great light and the blue bg could not be better. The colors are a bit oversaturated on my monitor.

Nice pose and good exposure. :wink: I think I see a sharpening halo around the head and neck.
