Canada Goose - Branta canadensis

I was looking for snakes when I came upon a large family of Canada Geese on the edge of a pond. I figured they were nearby because the grass was covered in goose poop (adults can excrete up to 2 lbs of poop per day!). I quickly backed up and walked around them because they are generally quite mean and I often get hissed at and chased by these birds!
