Last mont I witnessed and grabbed a few shots of a Forster's Tern
crapping on a trespassing Canadian Goose. https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1207628/0#11506490

It turns out this Canadian Goose chose to nest in the middle of a Forster's Tern nesting site.
Whenever she leaves or returns she gets chased and other such unpleasantries
Shots are from last Friday afternoon and this afternoon (Monday).

Thanks for looking.

I really enjoy the series Tim! Poor goose, she probably did not know any better when she chose the nesting sight. I hope she hasn't egged any yet ... Wonder what would happen if she did ...

That's a fun series and an amusing (albeit unfriendly) story, Tim. In my neck of the woods, I'm used to seeing Canada geese exhibit territorial behavior; that's probably because I don't get to see enough terns!

Great set Tim. Those terns are certainly protective.

Very neat set Tim. The goose appears to be vocalizing quite a bit due to the terns. Well done.

A fun set Tim, and very well captured. This will only last until the eggs hatch though ~ Ron

A great set Tim. That poor goose really looks harassed. I get enough grief if I paddle to close to terns, I can't imagine setting up a nest right in the middle of them!

Cheers,

Very neat chasing series, Tim. Look like the terns did not give up.

Seems to me like a dumb goose Tim I can't imagine the chase scenes, the slow maneuvering goose against the little fight plane like terns. Great shots of the action, I'm thinking I could photograph those scenes all day Nice work my friend!

Very nice action series. Where I am, lots of people would like to drive Canada Geese out, or at least reduce its overwhelming presence.
