The numbers of Canada geese on the marsh have continued to rise, now reaching about 135. Apparently the marsh has become a staging area for many family groups. They will rest here until the time comes for them to migrate. The top shot here shows about half of the flock. Sometimes they leave the marsh during the day to feed elsewhere, returning to the marsh for the night. The bottom shot, taken this morning, shows the two white geese that have joined the gathering, both with varying amounts of grey mixed with the white. They are definitely larger than their Canada cousins.
