Hi All:

This is February, right? So, I was startled, to say the least, to see two
pairs of Canada Geese with goslings at the West Seattle freeway bridge
yesterday. One pair had two young; the other just one. They were still at
the little, fuzzy, and adorable stage.
I have to admit that I don't pay much attention to geese, other than when
the inevitable discussions of their numbers come up, and I don't know much
about their breeding biology. Are a few out-of-season young normal for the
numbers of non-migratory geese we have in this area? Has anyone else seen
this? Just curious -
