Very nice photography. The running juvenile goose or assume! Very cute. Do your pelicans not mind people? We have them in Minnesota, but they prefer isolated lakes and are skittish around people.
Great photo of the beaver, too! They're hard to get out of the water.
You are right, it is a running gosling, he was also flapping his wings trying to fly, so adorable to watch them. I think for the most part, the pelicans stick to isolated areas but The pond is a stocked pond so their is always fish to eat, They drop by to this city park quite a bit and this one actually came and paraded and fished near us, a group of at least 6 photographers waiting for him to swim by.
Yeah they are, I seem to be getting pretty lucky with beavers this year, I'm enjoying it!
