Spring Brood

This is a great time to be in Bancroft exploring. There is so much new life and evidence of wild animals close by. Mary saw fresh deer and bear scat when she was walking on our property today.


While in town I saw these guys down by the river.

Wow, twelve little ones to look after and they all know how to behave. Mom in front, dad behind and the goslings safely in-between.

Checking out the shore line for something to eat.

This must have been an older cousin flying overhead.

Took this shot through the trailer window, as this girl wandered by looking for a suitable warm, sandy spot to lay her eggs. We watched her for an hour as she meandered around and then selected our driveway as a possible site. She dug three test holes but we didn't see any evidence of eggs.


Lots to do up here Valery, you would love it. The chickens arrive June 27th so there will be fresh eggs when you come up.


Thanks for stopping by.
