Long Pond: Impostle Doesn't Like Pigeons...

Nearer a miss in large.

The pigeon was too fast for both the Impostle and my framing.
The Goosles were nowhere to be seen, so we looked to see who was on the boating pond. There was a sweet marbled Canada goose hybrid which tentatively took oats from my mother's hand, and this lone Egyptian goose, which seemed friendly enough, so long as you're not smaller and winged... The pigeons all managed to escape its beak (flying helped), but it certainly didn't like having them around.

Alternatives:
Flapping out 1
Dabbling for oats
Flapping out 2

Other boating pond birds are on Flickr here (or right from here).
