common_natureSome geese taking a corner. (In an East Providence public park.)
I'm pretty sure they're Brant's; they aren't native to the area, but they do winter around here. I hung out for a bit and watched them preen, once they landed. While they looked a little like Canada Geese, which are our most common (and obtrusive) goose, they're smaller and have thicker black necks, plus they sounded slightly more like ducks, so it seemed to make sense. (I otherwise would have just assumed Canadian, because that's what I'm primed to see.)
As exhibit A, goose necks.
This one was folding his wings and I enjoyed it.
These are, of course, seagulls. I just like hovering/landing birds, is all.
