I've never had a bird approach me like this Egyptian Goose did. He walked right up to me and started to peck on my lens. He did this on New Years day and again today, 3 January.
He had no fear!

When I spotted this juvenile, he was with one of his parents and no siblings.
The worry from other park visitors is he won't survive as there are many coyotes in the area. When I took this photo of him, he could not fly.
