Goosies on parade!
I came into the back of the office around 2:30 this afternoon because I'd been at the other office for a meeting, and saw that the grounds crew was out mowing around the pond. Figured I'd be out of luck on geesie sightings because no doubt they'd have been driven away by the crew.
But then I drove around the corner of the pond and they were *all* there, wandering across the parking lot towards the grass between the warehouse modules. A whole little line of baby geesies. It took them 2 or 3 minutes to cross the street, and I couldn't get past them, so I got to just sit there and watch them be cute.
The first ones were the oldest four that were born nearly a week before the others, and they are pretty much entirely grey now. Then there were a couple more families all strung out in a line, and at the end, the family with 6 geesies (used to be 7). One of the remaining 6 is a clear runt of the litter. While the others are growing pretty well, the last one is only half the size they are now, and doesn't appear to have grown at all since last week. I feel bad for the poor thing, since I have no doubt at all that it's not going to make it. It's the smallest, fluffiest and cutest of the bunch right now, and I'll probably cry the day I come in and its gone.
