Koan tree | geese, snow, change

 From recent walks around Bright Pond.

Ballad of Shirley and Doodle (Bright Pond)

Our local Canada goose couple, Dan and Shirley hatched a brood of three goslings recently. The male, Dan, lost his life protecting the family from the fox that also carried off two of the goslings. So far Shrley and the remaining gosling, who Ruth & I have dubbed Doodle, are OK. 

Interestingly, a second goose couple has arrived and seems to be acting as a guard for the mother and child.

We wish them well.
