Canada Geese, standing on the ice on the cemetery pond, drinking ice water. Apparently they are filled with antifreeze.
This is a Swan Goose with a Mallard drake and a Canada Goose. Not of a feather, but flocking together at the cemetery pond, where there is a "bubbler" to keep some water open.
Interesting bird, the Swan Goose, Anser cygnoides. Not native to this country, this male is either domesticated there at the cemetery or living in a feral state. He seemed glad to be in the company of the other birds, and was the only one who talked to me at all, other than the general muttering of the ducks.
