In my wanderings today, I was happy to see the Canada Geese pairing up and nesting.

I love the new marsh grass sprouting all around this fellow.

It seems that every patch of water had a pair of geese.

Check out the beaver dam – a goose nesting in the front, another lurking the background.

And then look closely at this photo form earlier in the day. I didn’t notice the goose on the beaver lodge until I’d move the photo to my computer.

I don’t recall seeing geese nesting on beaver dams before now but it makes sense. Safe from land predators like fox, coyotes and bobcats, hopefully these future goslings will enjoy a happy life.

I wonder what the beavers think?
