dryfly Posted May 4, 2008 Posted May 4, 2008 Spent some time in the marsh today, including 3 hours in my blind. Turned out well ... I am pleased. Thanks for looking. Cheers! Clive Shovellers...really fun to watch...sort of goofy little ducks...dozens on the ponds.. Canvasback female Cinnamon teal Guy type mallard Snow goose...not sure why it is hanging around here ... been here about one week...not seen it fly so there may be an issue there...(no tar sands so it may have hit a wire...or maybe it is just confused ) The goslings started hatching a few days ago...I am thinking there are two crops this year...some females sat early and many didn't start until mid April so they will be hatching in a week or two. (28 to 32-day incubation.) Clutches have 3 to 5 young ones...the snow may have thinned a few eggs as there should be about 4 to 7 goslings per family. Quote

monger Posted May 4, 2008 Posted May 4, 2008 Nice shots Clive. The snow goose is just acclimating in preparation for global warming. Quote
