WW:* Don't Go Near the Nests of Geese (*Wednesday's Wisdom/Warning)

I learned through my newsfeed (yesterday) that "Isaac Couling, 16, was attacked by two birds while he was competing in a tournament at Wolf Creek Golf Course, in Adrian, Michigan, on Saturday."

The news of the incident was reported by multiple news sources, including Metro, where the photos atop this blog entry were included.

II was not surprised by this report, for in my research re Canadian Geese, I've learned they have been known to attack humans when they believed that their nests were in danger.

Evidently, Couling was near to a nest of geese when golfing.

Be that as it may, both genders of this bird type participate in the parenting of their goslings and are very protective of their young creatures.

This is evidenced by the next image (taken in Central Park).

CANADIAN GEESE ARE FEATURED IN VOLUME 2

The aforementioned image is included (along with a number of other pictures that feature geese and goslings) in volume two of the Words In Our Beak series.

And by the way, to avoid the calamity of Isaac Couling, make sure you stay far away from the nests of geese! Also, let them eat in peace. Better a goose or a gander have a chunk of food in their beaks rather than a chunk of you!

CANADIAN GEESE ARE FEATURED IN VOLUME 2

ADDENDUM FALL 2018:

MY BOOK SERIES

Please click here to go to my blog post that provides details as to where you can get these books. Additionally, I have rendered some images from these books into other formats and they are available via Fine Art America (FAA). Some of my other photographs (Black & White Collection, Kaleidoscopic Images and the famous Mandarin duck who visited NYC) can also be found on my FAA pages.

ADDENDUM SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER 2021:

When the third volume of the hard-cover version of Words In Our Beak was released, I withdrew from promoting my former versions of Words In Our Beak. 

The very first one is an iBook and went into Apple's book store in 2015.

This was followed by an ePub version...

... that is available on Amazon and was also published in 2015.

Subsequently, Words In Our Beak's digital versions were published as a soft-cover book (with slight variations) by MagCloud in 2017.

Its press release can be read by clicking here.  

Now with the release of BIRD TALES....

... I've been advised to make mention of my early versions of volume one of Words In Our Beak, they do vary ever so slightly in content from the hard-cover version of volume one.

As of this addendum, I do not intend to create digital or soft-cover versions of Words In Our Beak Volume Two or Words In Our Beak Volume Three.
