Something to look forward to…

The recent grey weather continued in Estabrook Park this morning. I did manage to hear plenty of birds on my walk, and I even saw some out on the river, but I didn’t see a single picture worth taking today. Oof.

Instead, let me show you a fun flashback from almost exactly one year ago today in South Holland. I had just returned to Delft from visiting Slovenia with Anne, and on my walk home for lunch, there were brand-new goslings out on the lawn. In early February!

There were four of them, and here they are with their mom, an Egyptian goose.

Finally, here’s one more look from a little further away to get Dad in the frame, too.

Canada geese have begun scoping out nesting territories here already, but we’re probably still a couple of months away from goslings, and I thought you wouldn’t mind a preview.
