Fight or flight?

On a snowy day in early April these two geese charged each other repeatedly as I watched them on the edge of the ice at Wild Rose Lake. Here the one Canada goose looks bemused by this emphatic display.

Nice capture here, Chris. I was watching a confrontation between two geese and was surprised at the thud when their bodies hit each other. A lot of force there!

  Thanks Jane. That is crazy! They are big birds to be smashing into each other.
