    Default Bow down and worship me!

    The Canada Goose (Branta canadensis) , not exactly a bird that Bird watchers go "wow" to when we see them, and they are not great for lawns, swimming areas, and golf courses..However, These birds do have a certain charm to them, and can be interesting to watch and photograph. Being so common they usually find their way onto my memory card...

    Taste like chicken? A bit greasy chicken though? I think its a very good food source actually, one that is under utilized. But then again, I also think the Iguanas and reticulated pythons in Florida are also !

    Did you like it?
    The only way I've prepared it that I felt was "good" was making bacon wrapped cream cheese and jalapeno poppers out of it. Made a lot of jerky out of it... wasn't horrible, but deer is so much better.

    Tastes like greasy liver.

    Al, I will not comment on the thought which run thought my head when I saw the title to this thread lol The photos are all great and I like the in-flight image where the goose is looking right at you. On another note are geese like ducks? We use to hunt ducks and I did not care for them even thru I love dark meat, I guess I didn't like the taste of duck meat plus they were a pain to clean. Guessing geese are similar?

    So there is a use to the invasive Iguanas and reticulated pythons .

    Nice pictures! I appreciate that you correctly identified them as Canada geese not Canadian geese like a lot of people mistakenly say. Nothing Canadian about non migratory Canada Geese. I do love them, don’t live on a golf course so no complaints from me, but I wouldn’t turn down a well prepared goose dinner. Iguanas, one meat I haven’t tried yet, but I would if presented the opportunity. I guess there must be an expression for cold snaps in Florida about getting dinner “falling out of the trees”, just like like shooting fish in a barrel.
