get out!
Cyrus does not like people too close to his woman's nest. With Saro due to hatch out goslings any day now: he is on high alert. Also, gander's generally disdain the paparazzi.

He knows what's important!
uh, mmm...i have no problems hearing him from here.
Hahahaa, priceless! I remember running from my uncle's gander growing up, he looked an awful lot like that!
Neighbor's had geese when I was growing up... they were mean, so as a result, they scare the bejeebers out of me!
Those hens don't seem all too comfortable with him around, either! He looks like a t-rex roaring a threat, lol.
I've had a few days like that :)
Great picture!
Well, I guess we can be glad he's doing his job of protecting the babies. But I remember geese from when I was three and lived on a farm. Even my DAD was afraid of them! Of course, I was, too! I think that was a healthy and reasonable fear.
Great photo...I can almost hear it some 600 miles away.
That is a great photo! I agree with Flartus looks like a T Rex that is very pissed off!
Grace and Peace,
John
I love it and know the fear that they evoke! You could hire him out to celebrities. Jacinta
O.K. Mean Gander.. protecting his woman, yada, yada, yada...
photo by Tim Bronson!! Seems like he is always there to get these great pics! Are you holding out something on us Jenna?
Yikes, John, no. Tim's married. He comes up here for a photo essay we're working on for a magazine project and takes a bunch of shots on big farm days like lambing or shearing (hundreds at a time ) and delivers me a big folder to pick from and use as I wish on the blog.
That's the deal: I get to use the photos and he has the rights to sell the prints. All the recent photos are from shearing day. I just spread them out!
I love geese! The man is doing his job.
i am timid about birds and that photo doesn't help (he looks like he means business), but i still am getting a kick out of it!
He'd have me out of there in the blink of an eyelid. Great photo by the way, despite Cyrus' dislike of camera-wielding people.
Cheers from Australia!
There's another one for the Cold Antler Calendar.
Whoa. Sean Penn got NOTHIN' on your bird!
Jenna,
I did not mean pissed off in a bad way! :-) He is just protecting what is his and wants everyone to know it! I love geese...they are sooooo fun.
Grace and Peace,
John
I've been wondering how the geese are doing. Cant wait to see the lil goslings! I too could hear Cyrus all the way in VA!
That's a truly awesome photo.
Oh John T, I was replying to SpiderJohn!
Wow, what a great photo!!!
Cyrus is da man!
Another great pic! Reminded me of when I was young and my mom's friend owned a couple if geese. She swore they were better than guard dogs. In fact, she carried a wiggle ball bat with her when she went out in the pasture where they were.
What a great photo! Makes me miss my geese, though. :(
This picture is perfect, and is just a mirror image of myself today.
