I'd heard they were pretty aggressive at times, thus I didn't try to get close-up pictures. We had a minor altercation with a goose at a park at the beach when Emily was small - she was feeding the ducks and geese and the goose got jealous. Based on how strong the goose reacted, I don't think I want to take on a swan! Karen Karen Thomas Wingate, NC No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
