Goslings are now commonly seen at the refuge and are often the subjects of the cutest Spring scenes.

“You are eating WHAT?”

My internet connection has been very iffy these past two weeks, and it was only last night that it came back to normal and allowed me to read emails and access various sites, including WordPress. My apologies for not having been able to respond to your comments or visited your posts. I will try to catch up for sure.

Conversations between Canada Goose goslings at the refuge in yesterday’s 90°F (32°C).

“Mommy said we should be eating veggies!”

“Here are some!”

“Look at her chewing that grass!”

“She’s right, it’s yummy!”

“Mommy is always right!”

Monday was a cloudy and rainy day. At the Edwin B Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge a Great Egret was standing by himself, very dainty and haughty in full breeding plumage.

A family of Cannada Geese with nine goslings loved the weather and went in for a swim.

Great Egret: “I tell you, this is why we need birth control!”

Of course, the goslings thoroughly enjoyed the water.

JeanInJackson post Only Child prompted me to post this photo I took today.

Meanwhile, at another part of the Edwin B Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, five goslings were being taught to look for food by their mother.
