Today belongs to the Goose.  I like to watch them and additionally I think they are a neat bird to photograph.  I enjoy the way they always fly in pairs.  Always have a wing man.  The sad thing about this image is all the debris and junk lying around.

I enjoy the 16th street pond but there are some serious junk issues there.  From plastic bags just below the surface of the water to the ever-present been can.  Lots and lots of junk all around the pond area.

Even a tennis ball or maybe it’s one of those stress balls.  But in many areas around the pond the junk is a serious problem.  Fortunately for the wildlife and the photographers there are also a lot of pristine areas around the pond.   I’ll admit I’m not the best at putting trash in the proper place.  My kids have tried to teach me their entire lives.  But it really is sad to see all this trash in this wonderful habitat area.

Like i said though there are places where the pond is just pristine.  The Saturday and Sunday I was there I saw Herons, Eagles, Gulls, Ducks, and Geese.   I think I said in one of my earlier posts that it is like watching a busy metropolitan airport.

The wildlife are constantly coming and going, interacting, and searching for something to eat.  Fun place to visit, to just sit and watch the goings on.  I might have to try somewhere else this weekend but I’m just as likely to end up back for a few hours too.

Thanks for stopping by.  Enjoy your Hump Day experience.  Be careful.
