Went down to the park with Tanka again today, good thing I brought my camera. Several pairs of geese were wound up and fussing at each other, bullying a small flock of ring-necked ducks, and getting looks of annoyance from a pair of tundra swans.

One pair got just a little too close to another pair's territory, and a fight broke out.

A lot of pushing and shoving and biting until one of them finally gave it up and took off.

The maples are in bloom. A close examination shows a pretty frilly blossom. Didn't have my tripod with me, but managed to steady my arm using the "firewood hook" I keep in the truck to get a focused shot with the macro lens.
