Harley spotted about 6 geese on a pond near Herrickville on his way home from work so we returned a little while later with Barry to try our luck. When we returned there were 25 to 30 birds feeding in a lawn near the pond. We left Barry in the truck as we tried to sneak up close to the birds but we were spotted early. The birds started to fly and we started shooting. We had two birds in the water and the rest flew off. By the time Harley returned with Barry one of the birds had recovered and started swimming out into the pond. Barry retrieved the "non-swimming" bird first as the second bird continued toward the other side of the pond. Barry finally spotted the swimming bird and headed for it. The bird dove below the surface as Barry got close but he didn't let the bird try that move again.
Watch the video as Barry returns from a long swim with the bird.
