Spring brings us a number of surprises. One of them is a rather large gathering of Canada Geese in and around our beaver pond. Sometimes we're "blessed" with up to 4 families raising their young here.

Four families of Canada Geese are using our property to raise their young. Geese
The main attraction is the beaver pond in the background. The line of bushes on the other side of the water is the beaver dam. Geese
The pond is part of Ox Brook. It's hard to see the puffballs, but they're there. Geese
This is looking NNE from in front of our house. Geese
The following photos are much more recent. You can see how much larger the babies are. Geese
The gosling on the left is much smaller than the rest. Did they adopt that one from a different brood, or did he just hatch later? Geese
With solo adults, at one time we had over 60 geese! Geese
This is the view outside of our bedroom window. View outside our bedroom window
