This is a barnyard goose, probably an African goose if my perusal of "goose breeds" on Google is anything to go by. The last time I looked we had four of them, all hanging around near our little artificial lake.

  Aw, what did that poor goose ever do to you?! He's much more dustinguished-looking than any trump.

An introduced species(*) in an artificial lake. Sounds about par for the Southern California course.

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_goose suggesting its origin is actually Asian.

Looks dangerous. Check out the "helmet" section of the bill! I wouldn't mess with this guy.

I started blogging in 2002 at my own site. In 2004 I got hired by the Washington Monthly and then moved to Mother Jones in 2008, where I blogged and wrote for the print magazine for 12 years. Finally, in 2021, I came full circle, leaving MoJo to once again blog at my own site.

Prior to blogging, I was vice president of marketing for Kofax Image Products, a software company in Irvine, California. I’m married, no kids, two cats. In 2014 I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow. It’s currently incurable, but modern treatments are pretty good and I remain alive and hopeful that a cure is on the way.
