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!

So I’m driving to work and it’s 101*F and I’m viciously daydreaming about every goddamn flat-roofed building in the city having a functioning green roof, keeping the buildings a little cooler and allowing bugs and birds to live all over the city. Every parking lot has elevated solar panels, making electricity while shading cars and pedestrians. I want it I want it I want it!!

#climate action #solar punk #a girl can dream #if I’d won the power ball this is something I would’ve done #just given people money to cover the city in green roofs #green roof #climate change

Freehand architectural study on A3 size. Been (quite a long!) while since I've used a format this large, so this has truly been a liberating experience🎐 On another note, how could it not be one given the media used: black marker and the dilutable oil pastels that deliver this raw, varying texture to the coloured surfaces. Hence the close-ups for the more texture fancy🦄

New idea based on the Green Acres theme song. I call it Rooftop Farms.

Man wants that cottagecore life

Woman wants to stay in the city

You know the jist

Instead of getting sexist as fuck, they compromise like adults

"Why don't you see if the city will give you a permit to build your own farm?"

There is only one available and it's for the roof of the apartment they live in

The catch is Literally Anything can go on that roof, no matter how heavy (sitcom logic)

Every episode is about some kind of haywire misadventure involving a new machine/animal

Husband and wife argue, then work together to fix it

Wife eventually gets used to the smell of cow shit on the roof. Oddly, it makes her think of her husband.

Husband enjoys his little economically sustainable farm land, and the view of the city his wife loves

Neighbors include a grumpy Squidward-esque guy who constantly gets roped into shenanigans

50% absurdity, 50% the healiest relationship in sitcoms, 0% sexism

#tw sexism mention #green acres #not really an #au #but a remaster #green roof #rooftop farms #sitcom #sorry this is formatted like a 4chan greenpost #*YOU ARE MY WIFE* always bugged me #like you can steal this idea #make it gay #make an au #just credit me

GOOSE WATCH 2024

It's been a busy day in the goosey world of our green roof! This morning, mama goose (aka Mildred) was off the nest hanging out with papa goose (aka Horace) near the solar panels. I assume she was getting a little snack and gathering energy to keep sitting on those eggs!

Later, in the early afternoon, SPL Graduate Intern Jenna got this video of Mildred checking on her eggs and then settling back down on her nest to keep them warm. There are at least seven eggs, which is one more than we initially thought! If I'm correct, we're on week four of egg incubation so we're expecting baby geese pretty soon! We can't wait to see those little goslings toddling around the roof! Exclamation point!
