Growing Geese and Bumper Crop
Woo hoo - we have had a bumper crop of baby Canada Geese this year - so far there are 5 couples with 20 babies between them - 3 couple have 4 babies each - 1 couple has 5 babies (they originally had 6 but sadly one disappeared) and then one couple with 3 babies. Your can see the age difference - both of these photos were taken today and one set of babies is already fledging (getting some adult feathers) and the others are just a couple of days old. No baby ducks yet but we hoping to see some soon. Mom is surprised so many survive as there are A LOT of cats around our neighborhood but there geese are VERY protective and have no worries about chasing them off - or us and we love to race outside and bark at them :)

We have lots of these geese around here too. No babies yet, though.
ReplyDeleteI am pretty sure those geese can take care of themselves against the cats. They are super cute!
ReplyDeleteBaby geese are cute, but Mom says those big ones make a mess on the sidewalks an trails and watch out below if they are flying overhead:)
