Any concerns about wild Canada Geese interacting with domestic ducks

Does it sound like this? This is what flys around here and the sound freaks my flock out every time.

Great photography!

Great photography!

That was not me. It is done really well though.
I was trying to figure out what bird it was myself a week or so ago.

It's nice to listen to, but It's pretty loud. We can hear it a good 15 seconds before they are seen. It's not ear piercing, but can be deafening if there are enough birds.

exactly right! We've been seeing them for years and always thought they were some weird kind of goose.

they are in big flocks when they fly over too. I need to pay attention to when because it's not often, just certain times of the year apparently when they are migrating!

I have noticed a crane here on many occasions. I'm not sure that it's the same one each time and actually doubt that it is. The crane is always alone and seems to lurk in the corners of my pond. When it notices me, it takes off flying and will hang out high up in a nearby tree. My ducks are always terrified when it flies off and I'm not sure if it's because they had no idea that it was even there before then or not. I took a picture of the crane that was here about a month ago. I'll see if I can find it but since they're so thin and tall, they're not extremely noticeable on land, in a pond.

Beautiful bird. We have great blue herons here they will eat ducklings and goslings. I guess it keeps the wild water fowl pop in check but I'd be devastated if one ever got hold of one of my babies. My ducks or geese never go down to the river.
You have such a beautiful place.

I have a pair of Canadian geese that come back every year and stay with our ducks and chickens there has never been any problems.The geese actually watch over the ducks and chickens.And when there babies hatch they show them off to us.

Not a crane. That's a Great Blue Heron.
