Newly hatched Canada goose goslings
07. June 2025 - Wildlife
For a month we've been observing a male Canada goose patrolling all around the area of this pond, even walking up and down a field over 50 yards away to block cattle from coming near.
The nest was hard to spot but a couple of weeks ago we got glimpse between strands of tall grass of the white breast of the goose on the far edge of the pond.
We thought they were due to hatch and yesterday the goose left the nest and was swimming in the pond. This afternoon she brought six goslings into the pond with her.
