There always seems to be one Canada Goose on guard while the others poke around for food. I always give them a lot of space as they can be quite fierce.

I have noticed that here too - a guard goose!
Have a great day!
Hello,
They are protective of their family, great capture of the geese.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a happy weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
They are especially fierce if there are young ones near by.
They are awesome birds.
A supervisor making sure no one comes close to them.
I think most geese do that and they always see you before you see them - and if they take flight they frighten away every bird in the area!
They certainly have that habit.
Someone has to be on the lookout for the photographers! heehee! How neat!
Yes, geese can defend themselves. I have also seen flocks of geese feeding with one or two devoted o watching. I wonder how these work assignments are given?
One was taking a peek at you.
Good decision on your part. I've heard they are testy.
They are extremely confident fowl yes!
Having a guard is a very sensible idea, as long as the goose nominated to-guard-and-not-eat changes every meal. Do we know if geese as sociable birds?
same here...there is always one "designated lookout"!! we have so many in this area, most are pretty tame but still keep an eye on things!!
Life is good in their world!
