Canada Goose behavior?

[Randy Emmitt <birdcr@concentric.net>]

Folks,

Today I took a short break at Duke Gardens to empty my camera of film so I 
could get developed the Mt Carmel Church Rd hummer photos developed.  I 
hope to post the new hummer photos on my site tomorrow.

What struck me as very odd was many of the Canada Geese there were 
roughhousing around and many times I saw several geese dive and pop up 20+ 
foot away. It appeared they were either being chased of chasing, yet some 
appeared to be bathing as well. Have these geese been around the mergansers 
and goldeneye too long? Diving geese it was a first for me!!!
