    Invaders from Planet Earth

    There are a few places here in our province where Canada Geese have moved in and taken over. One place is the beautiful Wascana Park in our capital city, Regina. Another is a beach at Kenosee lake, a popular summer destination here in the southern part of Saskatchewan.

    Don’t get me wrong – I love everything nature related, including these magnificent birds … I’m just not all that fond of trying to avoid their droppings on the walking paths and beaches.

    Our prairie city seemed to be spared … until recently.

    On a recent walk alongside the river, I was greeted by this squad and they were so bold that they barely moved as I walked by. It was like they were daring me to make a move.

    The only move I dared make was to raise my phone camera to get a couple of shots, and then move along as quickly as possible.

    These big birds can be aggressive, and I wasn’t eager to tangle with their mob.
