Good day, folks.
Another from March 2005. This is an Egyptian Goose. It's not native to North America, but a few breeding groups can be found in Southern California. most likely after escaping captivity.
Some geese have the reputation of being rather aggressive; the Egyptian Goose goes beyond this, and seems downright ill-tempered: in my experience they will chase anything from other birds of any size and kind to dogs to people.
But they sure have a distinctive and attractive color pattern.

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
