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.
