Hi, Folks,

It seems we now share some habits with geese.  Last Saturday, a walk by the American River brought me in view of this pair of Canada geese and their brood of very recently hatched goslings.  The family was “self-quarantined” on a small island, and thus was maintaining a safe social distance from predators.  The adults were hyper-vigilant to discern any threats to their family, and they were even wearing masks!

Wishing you a safe and happy Tuesday,

Dave
