The teenage geese are so beautifully scraggly! Stopped by the flock on the #morningcycle with @WTL

Another grey #morningWalk from this week… #RideauRiverRock with a couple of ducks/ presumed #DuckCouple and a little #CanadianGeese family

On our pre brunch walk this morning, we came across these geese and huddled goslings, with the sentry goose on the opposite side of the bike path.
When the sentry started to walk over to tell us the back off I noticed the fishing line entangling its legs, hobbling it.
I reached out to a friend who volunteers with Safe Wings Ottawa and she was eventually able to connect me with an available goose wrangler.
The recording at Safe Wings is a bit sad as they are overstretched, but these good folk still have a network of people willing to take time to assist Ottawa feathered friends in need.
The goose has since been helped and I once again admire the spirit and helpfulness of some awesome humans.
I am still very angry about fishing line being left in the river to cause trouble with wildlife.

More Uncle Gray

Went back to the park and found the goose family and their uncle or aunt (I can’t tell the sex of the gray goose) Gray. It is the same family, one of the parents has a has a tag. The gray goose was still with the goose family days after I first saw them together. It still may be a coincidence. 1/2

A Goose of two Worlds

When I saw this goose I just assume they were just a differently colored Canadian Goose, but I googled and found it is in fact a hybrid of a Domestic Goose and a Canadian Goose.
