HEY--Nothing Ordinary About this Day at the Lake

Marcel has nothing on me....everyone is after my attention...at least at Oak Grove Lake.    I have seen some cool birds there like the ring neck duck, gr. blue heron, the green heron, the spotted sandpiper, the kingfisher and of course the ducks and geese are always fun to watch. Its fun to find the ordinary waterfowl going about normal life---Here's how it went down---just an ordinary goose but geeze look at this--

"Hey Sondra, look at this pose, its blast off goose!!!"

"Hey Sondra, bet you wish you looked this good!"

"Hey Sondra, wanna a good head shot?"

"Hey Sondra, are you stallking me?"

Talk about chivalry...this male was taking his role of protector to extreme limits...he is the mate in shinning armor while she sits on their eggs on that small island...nobody got close-- he allowed the pied billed grebe to swim by that was it!!

"Hey Sondra, you got this?"

Here she is sitting on the nest..sssshh and over there is my buddy the Muscovy Duckling that I've watched grow up he is becoming quite handsome..This summer he will be one yr old!

Mother Goose!

It's Mothers Day and My Mom has been away for a week but arriving home today...Im looking forward to having her here again. We have a new book to listen to we enjoy hearing audio books while we eat our meals...and once again its a Tony Hillerman Mystery, The Dance Hall of the Dead--should be very interesting! Last week we took a trip to Swan Lake and enjoyed all the birds and trail around the lake. This one goose took up with Mom and they were instant friends...check this out.

  So they met and Mother Goose made the first move to get to know each other and Mom offered her cane up for inspection and the goose approved and suddenly there were 3 of us...she joined right in our procession..Then when Mom needed to sit and rest a bit our new friend had snack of grass and we enjoyed the shade....soon she tired of our slow pace and went off on her own but for a while we enjoyed her company!
