Don't mess with geese. This morning a blue heron landed at the near edge of the pond and I ran to grab a camera. By the time I got ready to start snapping pictures the nesting pair of geese had jumped in from the far side and had swam across the pond looking for a scrap. The heron was no match for a rampaging gander. Getting Ready This would scare me. Heron is no match for the goose.
