GOOSE WATCH 2024: THE GOOSENING

We have goslings! The eggs have hatched and now we have six baby geese exploring the green roof. As you may recall, there were seven eggs—sadly one of the eggs was broken. But we do have six healthy little goslings toddling about! They are exploring all over the green roof and will grow to many times their current size over the next few weeks. Mom and Dad are being very attentive and staying with the babies as they check out every corner of the roof! One of my favorite things about the pictures I took of the goslings is how they seem to glow in many of the pictures due to the sheer amount of fluff and fuzz of their downy baby feathers.

We hope they will be safe from the Peregrine Falcons and Kestrels that sometimes fly around campus and that they will have enough food and water! We will keep updating our social media as the geese grow and hopefully eventually make it off the roof.

this goose couple really spoke to me for some reason. I couldn't stop staring at them even though there were less common birds around

Canada geese are always seductively begging to be grabbed by the neck with both hands and choked to death

i decided to BRUSH up (haha) on my digital painting skills today! i painted on top of a photo i took, so it's not completely an original piece, but it was definitely good practice for painting textures!

(original picture vs painted over version)

Smooth Sailing

I found a couple of Canada geese on the kids’ fishpond. It was cloudy but the water was smooth as glass.

A Goose Family Feathursday

Mildred and Horace Start a Family!!

Every spring for the past few years a mating pair of Canada Geese take up residence on the green roof outside our window for a couple of weeks. We've named them Horace and Mildred, and we did a post about them in 2021. We wondered if they would ever establish a nest in the roof's sedum, but they just hang out for a few weeks and then depart. This year they finally decided that our roof was suitable to start a family and about 20 days ago Mildred set up housekeeping with a downy nest and six eggs near one of the vents on the roof. We are all very excited here in Special Collections, and we maintain daily goose alerts!

Mildred will incubate her brood for about 30 days, rarely leaving the nest. She is a very devoted mother. Horace on the other hand is usually gone during the day, so we rarely see him. Canada Geese are monogamous and mate for life, so we don't think he's cheating on Mildred, but we all thought he would be more present as the male usually hangs about to help guard the nest, but apparently he has other ideas.

We should see some hatchlings in about ten days or so, and we'll bring you an update then. While we are interested in seeing the couple nest on our roof, we also have concerns. There is no water, and the goslings will be susceptible to falling off the roof and becoming prey to raptors and other avian predators, especially the peregrine falcons that raise their own families on the nearby roofs of our campus's tallest buildings. Nature will have its way, but we do hope that Mildred and Horace have strategies for keeping their family safe.

Stay tuned!
