Canada Goose Display

It is a good time of year to spend an evening along the Columbia River.  As there is lots of Canada Goose activity.
The goose in this video clip was defending its mate. Using the head forward display - the goose extends its neck, holds the head low and points it towards the opponent often while honking. If the threat doesn’t move the goose then flies towards the intruder to chase it off.
