The Goslings Have Hatched
I had a rare treat today and got outside to walk at lunchtime. I walked down to a different section of the lake and was so delighted that I did. I saw 3 pair of Canadian geese and each pair had goslings trailing behind them. One couple had 5, one had 4, and one had 3. I will keep watch over the next several weeks, but I imagine that a few will be lost to the hawks and the eagles in the area. It's a sad reality but a very natural part of the cycle of nature. It sure was fun today to see the downy little chicks; it put a big smile on my face. On the way home I saw 2 male mallards and one female perched on the neighbor's roof. It seems like a very odd place to hang out. I wondered if they were planning on staying there or if they just liked the view from their perch.
