the talk about canadian geese gave me letterkenny flashbacks.

I would like to wish all my friends who live in the great white north a very happy Canada Day today!

Crying over these geese.. oh to be a solitary goose finding love and starting a family in an interracial goose relationship

Bird identification is so fucked up in a really fun way you can’t understand until you get into it. For example, there is a type of goose called the cackling goose that looks exactly like a Canada goose except smaller and “cuter”. The cackling goose is way, way, more rare in most places than its relatively common cousin, so it’s on tons of birders life lists. Everyone wants to see a cackling (look in any bird ID group to see lots of hopeful people posting petite Canada geese). The two species regularly commingle, so sometimes a flock of those common parking lot birds will have the equivalent of a Pokémon shiny just hanging out in the middle of them.

How ridiculous and fun is that? I can never look at a big group of Canada geese without scrutinizing their ranks for an adorable little extremely rare cutie pie cackling goose. It reminds me a bit of mushroom harvesting minus the risk of death if you get it wrong

wanted to share some of my bird art i made before coming to tumblr! i’m a huge bird fan <3 some of them were either made digitally, with acrylic paint, colored pencil, or pencil. the heron mosaic piece was actually made with cut construction paper!

one of these things is not like the others....the cackling goose (Branta hutchinsii) was once considered a subspecies of Canada goose (Branta canadensis). they have overlapping ranges and nearly identical plumage, but are significantly smaller than most Canada geese, with more compact features and higher-pitched vocalizations.

Haymitch choosing to spend his retirement raising geese, the most volatile, hateful, unfriendly animal there is- is so funny. I know for a fact Katniss and Peeta hear that man cussing out those birds when they attack him for no good reason. He just takes care of them while waiting for the liquor and I know it’s the stress of those unpredictable demon birds keeping him distracted. I bet he also has one that’s particularly mean and prone to attack and he’s named it Katniss.

Your f/o is okay with the fact that you might not be in a good mood. They don't expect you to be lighthearted all the time, or respond to jokes as much. They'll sit with you and wait out your bad mood with you.

I fought a Canadian goose and won.

PSA don't feed the geese !!!

i decided to BRUSH up (haha) on my digital painting skills today! i painted on top of a photo i took, so it's not completely an original piece, but it was definitely good practice for painting textures!
