OK, It's a Duckie

Just the one. Momma's sticking pretty close. Duckie's cute as a button. No telling if it's the broody duck from earlier this spring trying again, or what.
Mamma's pretty cute herself.

Gosling Watch

OK, the Sun Yat Sen goslings are a washout again this year, I'm not sure why, aside from the general unlikeliness of the whole enterprise. Whatever happened happened while I was away in NYC, and I've been too busy to remember to harrass the Park Dep't about any egg-addling policies they might have.

Luckily for anybody out there jonesing for some gosling pictures, though, there were a bunch of them at Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn when I was there. You can see where we get our ideas about what dinosaurs looked like ...

FJ off to New York last night

 and I follow tonight. Won't post for a couple of weeks. Hope to return in time to resume the gosling watch (unless the Parks Dep't has addled the eggs).

Cheers

So Far, So Good

 
Just shifting the furniture a little bit. The pair of Canada geese nesting at the Sun Yat Sen Gardens are holding up pretty well. Mama's still sitting on the eggs; Papa's her occasional protector; the tourists by and large don't even notice the nest. Today's excitement was an escaped bunny.

The Broody Goose at Sun Yat Sen Gardens

is sitting on a clutch of eggs. Well, we'll see how this goes ...

The broody geese are back

Some people never learn, except some of them are geese. The resident Canada geese at the Gardens are nesting in the same spot as last year, out in the middle of everything. They're working a little harder this year to keep people away from the nest. That's a hissing gander in the background below.
