BACKDATED: Territorial

a.k.a. Swans Are Badass Mofos!








This drama unfolded this evening as I arrived home from work. This little pond next to my building doesn't strike me as anything fancy, but apparently the waterfowl find it very worthy of possession. Through the sequence of photos above it is clear that the swan is not happy with the Canada Goose in his water, and he pursues him determinedly until the goose leaves the pond.

I thought it was all over and put away my camera, but afterward the swan chased the goose onto land and took a beak-swipe at him. The goose opted for less hostile waters and flew off.
