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.

Canada Goose mother: He’s my only child! He’s mine!

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