Congrats, elfieh. Well done to all those who posted an image.

Congratulations Elfie. Well done Johnny11758.

Ohio, those geese are real cute when small. Grown up they are generally a pain in urban areas.

I concur, OldCrow. Their out in the wetlands and along the nature trail where I took that shot the geese are just fine (they still make a mess, but at least they are in their element). There is a large contingent of honkers where I work (sort of a college campus atmosphere) and they make a serious mess and can snarl traffic as well.
