Getting a Little Goosey

The Turkey Ladies may not have any poults to bring to the feeder this year, but, yesterday, the Canada Geese decided to make up for it.  I heard the honking, looked out of the window, and, there they were.  I think it's two families.  I loved the way that the adult geese stood guard while the kids ate.

You never saw such hungry kids.  They ate until I didn't know what they were finding any more.  Then, the kids started to settle down for their after breakfast naps.

And, finally, they all decided to take a snooze.

The geese stayed around the yard for most of the morning.  I have to admit that they are fun to watch.  I enjoyed the way that they all interacted with each other.

I did not, however, enjoy what I found when I went out later in the day.  I actually had to get out the snow shovel and run it all up and down my driveway, to get rid of all of the messy droppings that the geese had left behind.

So far, no sign of them today.  Cute as they are, I hope they don't make visiting here a daily habit.
