What's good for the goose is good for the gander
Tim took this photo of a couple of geese parents and their offstring strolling nonchalantly through our yard the other day. Likely on their way over to the golf course that butts up against our property line. We hope they made it ok. We know for a fact we have coyotes and owls hanging out in our woods in the back yard. But it was broad daylight so hopefully that boded well for the little family.
I hope our wetlands gradually morphs into a year-round pond so we can attract more such critters. Last year around this time we had a pair of ducks looking for a nesting spot down where the tall grass starts. For their own sake I'm glad they eventually moved on, as I suspect they wouldn't have lasted a night. The year before I saw a heron or crane regularly take off and land somewhere out near the back of our wetland.
Man would it be cool to have geese and ducks hanging out on a regular basis out back! I'd be willing to put up with a bit of poop as a result. I know... be careful what you wish for ;-)
