A first for me. A Canada Goose pair flew in here a couple of months ago. She built a nest and they hatched Saturday. I would never have thought she would keep the nest long enough. But I have been working hard on the predators so maybe that helped. Amazing

Five of them. If I find a turtle has gotten one there will be hell to pay. Turtles better spread the word to leave the little Gooses alone.

They are my Gooses. I call them like I want. The first time for me to have any here. It is amazing how protective the pair are of the baby Gooses. I get within a couple hundred yards of them and they go into the hiding mode.

Bass is going to be worse than the turtles will be. I just put 12 6 inch bass in the tank about 4 months ago. I don't believe they are a problem yet. As mean as the big Gooses are they might whip the bass anyway.

I like the baby gooses. They hatch every year at Highport Marina. It's interesting watching their different stages of growth. I bet there's a hundred every year out there. And the big gooses will get to watching a group of about 20 baby ones. They look like school teachers for gooses, lol. I'm easily entertained too.
Mmmm Hmmm

That is really neat Don. Thanks for sharing, you have a nice place, living in New Mexico I envy anyone with water on there place. Hopefully she comes back for years to next, and some of her little ones might come back and nest also.

They brought them up from the tank to where I feed a some Transcaspian Urials and a few Ibex to eat left over feed. It is about 200 yards from the tank. Poor little Gooses are getting plenty of exercise.

I am amazed at how the parent Gooses protect and also teach the little Gooses. Yesterday I saw them out behind the big tank eating grass. I was on top of the dam and they were below me in the spillway. The big Gooses laid down flat to hide then the little Gooses saw what they did and did the same.

Not gooses. Plural for goose is geese. So, it is geeses... Baby geese are goslings. The Goose is the female. The Gander is the male.

Don thanks for posting and following up with the progress. Your posts like this are among my favorites on the forum. It is amazing how fast those things are growing and it looks like they found a place that has the predators under control.

Don thanks for posting and following up with the progress. Your posts like this are among my favorites on the forum. It is amazing how fast those things are growing and it looks like they found a place that has the predators under control. I have a live trap that I just bait with corn here at the house so I don't catch the cat. I put it out when I saw the goose had a nest. Since then I have caught 14 coons and 2 possums.. Shows how many varmints are running around out there. Also had a turkey hen nest near the tank but the eggs did not hatch. Have not seen any young turkeys this year. Must have been something with the weather. Too hot, cold, wet or dry. Who knows.

This morning. They are coming to eat corn with some Ibex yearlings. I think I saw one of them take a short test flight yesterday.

Our neighborhood littles are hard to differentiate from the parents. They are all grown up now just about. Very cool Don

They give the Ibex hell if they get too close to them. This has been very interesting. The young ones are getting tamer than the parents.

They fly around some now. Getting pretty tame. Come up to around 15 ft. from me when feeding. Also now have some Black Belly Whistlers that have hatched on that same tank.

The Gooses got some company. Had about 10 little Black Belly Whistlers hatched. A first for this also.
