A meeting of old friends


Yesterday on my walk I came upon a flock of Common Redpolls feeding on the ground under the gray birch trees. I moved into the trees to try to get a better view but instead scared them off. When I emerged from the trees, what should greet my eyes but the pair of Canada geese from Wednesday's posting, almost right in front of me. (I was pretty sure they were the same ones, as over the years this pair has gotten used to me being near them.) The goose was busy feeding; she has to build up her reserves before nesting.
