new goslings time again on blokes Pond

Is the new camera working out well for you?

A friend had guard geese. He raised them from the egg and they were very comfortable at his place. He had a coop for them but never closed or locked the door. He would feed them some and they would forage for whatever else. He had a slug-free yard. His place was right on the salt water so they could find plenty of food.
It was almost impossible to sneak up on Rupert- either from land or sea. The second his geese saw or heard anything unfamiliar, they'd be set off. What a noise! If someone came into his yard uninvited, they were met with a phalanx of snapping beaks!

I agree- geese can be nasty, dirty animals but, in small amounts, they can be fun to have arund.

Babies must stay close to Mom and Dad. Hawks are circling.

Screw the hawks. If I were a goose, I'd be more worried about largemouth bass or any snapping turtles that may be in the pond.

admission: These were taken with the antique digital camera.. old Sony 3-1/2" floppy camera. ....

I still use my first digital camera... a Panasonic with a 3 1/2" floppy 'Superdisk'. I've replaced the drive once for about $15 off Ebay. I refuse to give it up. I also bought a portable 3 1/2" floppy drive off Ebay ($10) for use with my new Toshiba laptop.

Those geese were just searching around for a proper nesting spot when I dropped my Blokepatch on April 9th. Those little buggers work quick! Congrats to Bloke and Debbie... proud parents!

I though the Gosslins had taken over the pond...

(and what was Jon doing in the shed???)
