I’m not sure whether it is humorous or nightmarish, Tim, but I am going with humorous unless I meet up with one on a dark night. 🙂

  I’ll go with humorous as well. However, if it had turned on my while photographing it, I’d be leaning on the nightmarish. Birds can be pretty nasty. I remember a goose a farmer had. He used it to guard his property. It was extremely effective.

    Geese can be scary! And what I’ve heard about Emus, Tim, is that they can kick the crap out of you. 🙂
