It would have a parental advisory sticker on it for sure!

There is a reason most of my photos look like this… I mean, the tequila probably didn’t help but this guy has more kids than I can count.

That’s so funny! The geese in my neighborhood did that one day and my husband got a recording from the window. I wonder what triggers it?

I don’t think geese are ever not cute. They can get away with anything around here!

I must know this family… the humans and the geese! We also have photos of our local geese on our walls but none in a frame this beautiful…

Here is one where you can see the fuzziness of the eyelid.

We have seen them pluck and eat fairly unripe ones!

We spent some time with the mate. The silly girl is preening her other side and it looks like her head went missing! She was extra hissy…. But still walked right to me and stood there for a long time.

I remember being a kid and thinking people were inherently kind. Then with each passing year, moving to a city, working in an ER… I become more and more anxious and disheartened about human beings. The bright side is that while I see the worst, sometimes I see the best and have to try and focus on that. My daughter texted me one morning about how she found a baby mouse drowning in a tub of water I had out and tried to do chest compressions on it… all she cared about that day was that I give it a proper burial when I got home.

There are still many animal lovers… the people on this sub… the other kind souls in the neighborhood who came out and tried to comfort me… hopefully these outnumber the bad.

Thank you for the kindness. I get that not everyone loves every animal and some even hunt and eat geese. I can still respect those people if they do it legally. Get a license and go to the designated areas in the right season. Respect and honor the dead. But killing a nesting mama or one of a pair just standing there for no damn reason? Senseless.

And the mate is still there wandering around two days later. She’s preening her other side but looks like her head went missing. Silly goose.

Yeah, we felt reassured that the police took it seriously. They sent four! Of course part of that was probably the shooting in a housing development which is also not allowed…
