We’ve had a pretty few intense days here on the blog because of the 155th anniversary of the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House, so let’s turn our attention to something a little lighter:
We’ve had a pair of geese raising some goslings on the property this spring. The chicks have gotten pretty big already, too!
Here, momma and her four goslings are waddling from the Riddick House to the pond. Daddy goose was with the gaggle, too, but he hung back for a minute to keep a wary eye on the photographer. I, in turn, kept a wary eye on Daddy–geese can be aggressive when protecting their young!
Because of our broad lawns, Stevenson Ridge attracts a lot of geese, particularly in the spring, summer, and fall. Geese are grazers, so lawns look like big buffets to them. In the winter, we get geese, too, but usually only when the pond hasn’t frozen over yet; the geese like to have the open water nearby.
I don’t think the title of your article matches the content lol. Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article.
Thanks for sharing. I read many of your blog posts, cool, your blog is very good. https://www.binance.com/join?ref=P9L9FQKY
What a charming post about the geese and their goslings! I love how you highlight the importance of nature around us, especially in places like Stevenson Ridge. Itâs fascinating to think about how these little moments can teach us about patience and communityâjust watching them interact feels like a reminder to slow down in our fast-paced lives. Maybe including some tips on how guests can engage with or safely observe these feathered friends would be a fun addition? Connecting with wildlife not only enriches our experience but also fosters appreciation for local ecosystems! Keep up the great 67 Clicker work!
