I’m pretty sure they’re greylag geese. Nice shot in any case.

To “ doodle doo” from a higher level, perhaps 🤔

My dad was an art teacher. I heard that more than once as I grew up.

Like the ultra rich art collector who was asked what would make him happy...

"A little more Monet!" was his reply.

The little bit of white leads me to think it may be a crossbreed of some kind... A greater or lesser white fronted that got "friendly" with a domesticated one?

They supposedly mate for life though, so who knows.

Well drat. Every time we think we have a "new" bird it turns out to be either a mallard cross or an escapee from a farm.

I suspect you are correct. Not nearly enough white on the face to be either greater or lesser white fronted.

The answer from my friend Daniel:
Je reviens sur notre rencontre de mercredi et la question de tes amis canadiens : " tell me why every hotel in Germany is an Adler "
Si je comprends bien la question, il faudrait expliquer pourquoi tous les hôtels d'Allemagne sont des aigles (?), ou ont le mot "Adler" dans leur nom.
D'abord il n'existe pas à ma connaissance de signification seconde du mot Adler justifiant la première hypothèse.
Ensuite, le mot Adler n'apparaît pas de façon habituelle dans le nom des hôtels, mais de façon occasionnelle, comme d'autres animaux : Hirsch (le cerf), Schwan (le cygne), Weißes Rössle (cheval blanc), et la liste pourrait être longue. Sur la place du marché de Herzogenaurach, il y a un restaurant dénommé " Gasthaus zum goldenen Ochsen" (le bœuf d'or).
Évidemment, l'aigle est l'oiseau présent dans les armes de plusieurs maisons princières illustres : Prusse, Empire Allemand, Empire Autrichien, Russie des Tsars, mais je ne vois pas quel pourrait être le lien avec le nom d'un hôtel.

Well actually, we did also find it funny. Joe would love you as his teacher, you sound great!

Ha ha. So true. You're never too old for toilet humor. I bet you yourself smirked a grin or two at Joe's horse butt quips during your time with him on tour.
