Yep. That's what I've got in my little 'pond.' Mostly it's just some water with cattails and weeds and peepers and a little stream that runs under the road. But this is the second year in a row the geese have tried to raise a family here. I say tried because last year I don't think any of the babies made it (snapping turtles being the likely reason why). I do hope a couple of them make it this year. They're awful cute...
Have a lovely Sunday :)
Awwwwwww!! Purdee!! I have my fingers crossed for them. :)
ReplyDeleteme, too.
DeleteSnapping turtles eat baby geese? I didn't know that. Hope some do make it.
ReplyDeleteI only found out recently myself. I hope at least a couple reach maturity. We'll see...
DeleteHope they make it this year. Awesome picture.
ReplyDeleteIt is a great pic, but not mine. Found it under 'gosling pics.' My geese wouldn't let me get close enough and I don't have a good enough camera to zoom in :(
DeleteAw, how sweet! Nasty snapping turtles.
ReplyDeleteYes, we suspect they may have gotten one of my cats a few years back; she used to like to hang around the waters edge.
DeleteAny chance you could hire a hitman to remove said turtles?
ReplyDeletewell, I would except...snappers gotta eat too, right? I don't really like playing god.
DeleteSnapping turtles!?!? Yikes!! Awwwww fingers crossed these goslings reach maturity!! take care
ReplyDeletex
my fingers are crossed, too!
DeleteCute picture. We haven't seen as many geese in the past couple of springs... don't know where they went.
ReplyDeletesnappers?
DeleteI'm actually surprised these are here since they're probably the same pair that was here last year. You'd think they'd try a different (safer) spot. But maybe there isn't one. Maybe there are predators wherever they go.
spring babies are so cute! but the grow up into honkin poopers! ha ha.
ReplyDeletelove your pics!
not my pic this time - I cheated.
DeleteThey are very cute.
ReplyDeleteEels are often the culprit down this way when cygnets, ducklings or goslings are that small.
Really? Snapping turtles? That's NOT fair! I don't like that at all!!!!...:)JP
