Seward, Alaska
Ava refound the DUSKY GOOSE
eating grass along the Waterfront and kindly called to tell me. I watched the dainty goose eating the ever-longer green grass, and then some gravel from the bike path.
She watched me taking photos from the car, but did not seem to mind.
I could tell something was
coming from behind me however, as she stopped eating and became more alert.
Sure enough, a pedestrian came jogging along and walked right up to her with his
cell phone, despite her honking and obvious distress, forcing her to fly. The
idiot. Unperturbed, he jogged on to take a bad photo of two Bald Eagles perched
high in a nearby cottonwood.
I noticed her tail feathers
were quite frayed. Fortunately, the goose circled back and I left her standing
in another patch of green grass. It’s lucky that the rain has kept most of the
foot and bike traffic to a minimum. Maybe she will fuel up and head over to
Cordova to join the other Dusky Geese.
Happy Birding!
