I met the geese foraging alongside the trail this morning, but it wasn't until they returned to the water that I noticed the younger family only had one offspring (seen here to the right) instead of two. It looks like the second one must have met with an unfortunate end. The six young of the older pair are becoming hard to distinguish from their parents.
Hi, This is Valerie Davies and I have just found your blog. It is truly wonderful. We found an interesting butterfly on our doorstep the other day and it turned out to be a moth - one of the silkworm family. We have two cormorants which perform daily at the rapids on the Alaine Creek behind our house on Babineau. The other day we enjoyed a long procession of Canada Geese slipping along the right bank until they were out in the main water.
