So T and I take an early morning walk today. Well, if 830 is early. We walk up on about two dozen geese so I do what I always do. Stop to observe. We spot two groups with young goslings though they almost have the size and coloration of a full grown goose. Most are in the water and swim toward us, get out of the water and walk toward us. This is a behavior I rarely witness and within about 15 ft they move away. Suddenly the older gosling family takes off flying. Well, actually they were running really fast with their wings moving. A very good observation today.

I think Teresa's favorite bird is the Great Blue Heron. She spotted this one in front of the Laurel Island Links Pro Shop.  I woke up this morning thinking it had been several weeks since I had heard or seen any geese. It is molting time for them meaning they can’t fly as the new replaces the old with those special flying feathers. Then all of a sudden, a couple of hours later, I hear and then see a group of four flying around testing out those new feathers.
We moved to Kingsland GA in April in the midst of the pandemic. I got a part time job at the golf course where we live. After 6 pm we can ride on the cart paths. We discovered a beautiful hole and two flocks in numbers we had never seen before.

I'm a wanna be writer but until recently only dabbled with personal stories and illustrations. My true joy is my relationship with God and family. Then comes the Christian music and technology. I am retired and occasionally work part time but when not too occupied I'm writing a book that I call Goose Freedom. Archives
