Witness to a Fight (Three is a crowd)

[Conrad Arellano]

Saw this male canada goose got in so close to where the pair (male & female) leisurely resting. The male was of course not happy with the intrusion and

....starting to chase the intruder. (F6.7, 1/750, ISO200, 110mm)


the intruder doesn't want to fight and decided to go away (F6.7, 1/750, ISO140, 100mm)


But the other male is probably very pissed off and continue to give a chase
(F6.7, 1/750, ISO200, 100mm)


The next two photos show what happened when the 1st male catch-up with the intruder.

Nice series of a usual male behavior, very protective (i.e. possessive). ;D

I somehow anticipated that a fight will happen when the male start to make a loud sound (as if shouting) while the male intruder is approaching. It gives me some time to prepare. Thanks for the comments.
