#Storytime #Thread #Birds Beginning in 2008, I began to recognize a returning pair of Canada #Geese on my backyard marsh.

One year, something disturbed an egg, it rolled out of the nest & she hatched an odd number that year.
Her goslings have had their own nests; last count, a few years back, there were 52 in one flock and 35 in another.They go elsewhere when grown. Thankfully.

@elliek Hi there my friend. How are you doing today?
@carrottop1023
Doing okay, thanks, Tim. Despite the weather. You? -

So, since I've been tracking *Gail & Gordon*, they've returned to my backyard every spring. While watching, they stay within running distance to the ocean. Another week, & there will be goose-poop on my patio. Sometimes a gosling wanders on when I'm shooting photos.

Which brings me back to this year's #nesting.
Eggs always hatch by mid-late May.
I watch daily, walk slowly to Mother Goose on #nest. I believe it's still Gail, but last year bird flu affected Gordon and she may have a new mate.STRIKE A POSE! #VOGUE
Updates soon

@Alison They are already on my shores, as soon as the harbour ice broke, they were mating and hanging out

@Alison Late at night, when no one is looking, deer are doing dirty deeds on your lawn.
SHOOT THEM! LOL -

Beginning in 2008, I began to recognize a returning pair of Canada #Geese on my backyard marsh. @Lstn2urmamaThey mate for life, live 10 to 25 years, & return to nesting areas. It's possible that it's the same pair?
I named them Gail and Gordon.@Rasta aww so cool.
Also, ya Goslings is a fine rum indeed. -

@Alison When I hunted, I'd barely have my deer hung and folks were looking for a steak. When I stopped hunting, I had my last one too. funny about that. I like it. I'd hunt again if I was a younger man. These days, just filling the freezer with meat is a good reason

<sign> I had a tour of *the plant* and they gave us cases of their 151 Goslings. -

@Rasta Filling the freezer with meat was indeed why he hunted. Wife at home and two kids.
He did go with the guys in later years. I found some sketches he did while sitting in the bush and watching them. -

I'd go in, get my deer quickly and go wit my father (when he was alive) to get him a deer so he stay out of the woods. I made my wife get a license too, so I could bring her deer out
