They are the cutest of beasts. Four gosling, who just hatched yesterday, are now right in front of our condo, along with both parents. The little ones are pecking away at the mulch and grass while the parents are keeping a close watch on me. I have never been able to tell Canada Geese apart. The male seems identical to the female. But one thing I know for sure and that is they are diligent while caring for their offspring.
Two days ago, at another part of the reservoir, Ken and I spotted two sets of parents and goslings and wondered why we had not seen any at our own place. Last year we had both duckings and goslings but this Spring has been wet and cool so I suppose the eggs are late in hatching. Today was warm, almost 80, so soon we will see the ducklings too. It is one of the charms of living by the reservoir, watching the ducks and the geese and their young. They bring a smile to your face, every time you see them. Spring has sprung!!
