I took those photographs at the reservoir in Easton, CT this past week.

Photobomb - to move into the frame of a photograph as it is being taken as a joke or prank

I'm taking some liberties with my use of the term photobomb, because the Canada Goose that flew through the first photograph above was just doing his own thing, and had no idea I was taking a photo of the other ones that were in the water. The photographs are shown in reverse order. First, I noticed a bunch of Canadian Geese, standing on the dam. As time went on, some got into the water, to swim away. Then, some would take flight, as was the case with the one who photobombed my snapshot of the ones in the water.

I took that photograph at the reservoir in Easton, CT this past week.

I don't normally post blurry photographs, but I thought that one was good enough and had enough visual interest to make an exception to my rule.

I took these photographs through my house window this past week, so they're not the best quality.

This Canada Goose pair showed up in my yard unexpectedly. They even walked around like they were lost, trying to figure out where the rest of their fellow geese were. The last photo could be captioned, "We're out of here!" They flew away shortly afterwards.

There are many Canadian Geese in this part of Connecticut, but my yard isn't the type of area where they like to congregate, so I'm not sure what these two were thinking. The yellow bushes in the background are forsythia. I should've taken photos of their flowers when they were at their peak.

I took this photograph of a Canada Goose with yellow neck band collar H290 at Sherwood Island State Park in Westport, CT on September 11, 2019 in the morning. This bird was in a group of Canadian Geese, and was located at approximately 41.111274, -73.331370.

I'm going to file a report about it at the Banded Bird Encounter Reporting site.

09/13/2019 Update: I received this bird's banding information on 09/12/2019 (1 day after reporting the sighting). I didn't notice when I took this photograph that this bird also had a Federal leg band, in addition to the neck collar band:
