Birds on the pond

Good Morning,
in the same spot as I was for yesterday's post, but this time for the most part I had switched to my longer lens the Tamron 50-400mm Lens, not my biggest lens I do have a Sony 200-600MM lens but that sa big beast and I generally only head out with that when I am trying to get some closer in shots of birds.

Whereas the 50-400mm is light enough to carry in my bag when I go out for a day time walk, which is not that common for me

Starting with this shot of a bunch of Canadian geese and seagulls out on the pond

We have plenty of Canadian geese that visit here for a good part of the year, there cool to see, but boy do the make a hell of a mess around the pond and park in general, one has to watch where one steps if you don't want to step in you know what, and mess up your shoes

Here I zoomed in some more and a few more geese and a couple of ducks

The ducks often dive to grab food, I guess and the little kid in me comes out when I see them bottoms up like this and I tend to gigle, even if mostly a chuckle in my head not out loud

This next shot is the one exception where I switched back to my go to lens for my early morning walks the tamron 17-28mm Lens for a wider shot of the pond

and a last short over ht epond towards what is called the warming house, as it used to be open in winter back whenthe pond froze enough for people to ice skate on it, and then they could go into this building to warm up
