Rocky Mountain Critters

One of my favourite things about the Canadian Rockies is the various critters that call it their home. Here we have a few Canadian Geese enjoying themselves by the turquoise Cascade pond. Don’t get too close, as they are known to chase and bite. The pond area was crawling with squirrels running to and fro. It is always fun to watch and observe these little fellas.

@daveks Like everywhere, my friend, Geese sometimes jump and peck. I have seen some in Venezuela in the parks. The photographs that you show are worthy of a good camera. Successes, thank you for your continuous visits to my publications. successes

Yeah the honkers put up a show with a hiss when they have babies around. Interestingly, the more aggressive and territorial bird are the swans. Funny because they look so peaceful. We had one that made for great watching. He didnt mind boats, but if a jetski got within 200 yards, he would go for it. You could tell which jetskis were visiting coz all the regulars knew to stay away lol.

I think I'll just stay a good distance away with my camera in hand. Works good for me.

I am amazed how these animals living in the mountains can survive in such adverse conditions.

The photo of the beautiful geese among gorgeous white flowers with the wonderful pond is pictureque. Great capture, as always, my friend.

The squirrels are really cute. I love squirrels, too. I can imagine how joyful you felt while watching them running to and fro. How lucky you are!

Thanks so much for sharing.

Thanks for sharing your photos. The geese look so cute in this photo (although I would never want to be chased by them 😄). The squirrels are adorable, too!
