Barnacle Mug

The Barnacle Goose is a medium sized goose with a fairly long neck and short, small bill. Larger than the Brent Goose and smaller than the Greater Canada Goose, its white or creamy-coloured face and forehead and crisp black and white appearance immediately distinguishes it from these other species of black Branta geese. They are very sociable birds and breed in the Arctic. They migrate through Norway and spend the winter on the Inner Solway coast in Scotland. They fly in packs in long lines and have a chorus of barking or yapping noises.

Pond at Sapsucker Woods
This photo was taken at the main pond of Sapsucker Woods, home of Cornell University's Lab of Ornithology in Ithaca, New York. On this day in autumn, the main pond featured Canada Geese, Mallard Ducks and brilliant fall foliage in colors of gold, red, yellow, orange and green. The luminous air created an ethereal quality. The water reflections further enhanced the magical feeling of the day.

Cayuga Lake in Winter
Cayuga Lake is the longest of central New York's glacial Finger Lakes. The city of Ithaca's Stewart Park is located at the southern end. Every winter this end of the lake freezes and becomes the stomping ground for Canada geese, gulls and mallard ducks. This poster features the expanded icy shore with ducks, gulls and geese, the lovely blue green water, and the colorful houses along the shoreline at the foot of the eastern hills along the lake.

This poster features two migrating Canada Geese sitting on a log in a shallow pond. Their brown, black and white markings are reflected in the water. The water ripples create a fascinating vertical pattern of reflected tree trunks. I have digitally enhanced my original photograph to create a watercolor effect.

This is one of my favourite pictures I have of a greylag goose. I just love the pose as he runs across the water. Actually he was protecting his mate and was rushing off here and there being the proud partner and seeing off the competition.

Two baby Canadian Geese sit side by side on a grassy area near a small lake. These goslings can't yet fly, and they have very soft, fuzzy down feathers rather than the colors they will show as adults.

I was watching some noisy Magpies in a tree when I noticed this Canada goose standing behind me. As I turned round to take a picture of this beautiful bird it raised one leg and stretched out its wing to balance. This was a pose I couldn’t resist and the result is this print.

Here is a print featuring a photograph of a lovely Canada Goose swimming on the water. I took this photo in a peaceful little park in the suburbs of London in the fading evening light. It shows the bird swimming away, presumably ready to settle down for the night.

This photo was shot in a park in Illinois on a warm spring evening.
I was walking along a trail when I noticed these two geese relaxing by a pond and I stopped to snap their photo. This photo can be found on other products at the JasminesPhotography shop.
