A mother and child were walking along the boardwalk at Lake Lynn tossing crackers to the birds. At one point, two geese flew in with a flurry from a few yards away. I did not have time to raise the camera to my head. I just tilted the camera up where it was and clicked a few frames getting this lucky shot.  Right after it happened, the mother said, "I can fight crime, but I can't handle geese flying at me." The mother is a police officer.  View large on black  ~~~  Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Aves Order: Anseriformes Family: Anatidae Genus: Branta Species: B. canadensis Binomial name: Branta canadensis
