Canada Geese

Erich and I took a walk on the banks of the Saint Mary's River in the Soo recently. We found two families of geese trying to hide in a little lagoon. The goslings are adorable with their fuzzy, downy  feathers and black webbed feet!

Gotta love the nervous parent squawking at us with her big pink tongue!
It is often called the Canadian Goose, but that name is not the ornithological standard, or the most common name.-Wiki

We've got a ton of these guys all around us. Too bad they poop so much. They are in our pond alot.
Thank goodness they don't come on our side of it!

They sure are messy! It's like a dozen little dogs had been there!
