0.000 HBDFeathered Friday - Critters by the Lake
Here are a few sightings by the lake for this #featheredfriday  One of the goose families just hatched a new brood.  These might be one of the pairs that was nesting on my neighbor's balcony. She had two nests this year and I noticed only one goose sitting on a nest the other morning.  I'll keep an eye out on them to see how many survive. So far I count five goslings total.  Who knows how many they started with and if the foxes or hawks got a few of them on their journey from my building to the lake.  These cormorants were all the way on the other side of the lake being shy. For some reason these black cormorants are more shy than the brown ones. I have yet to get a shot of them with a fish in their mouth.  Tree swallows are back now that the insects are out.  These nest boxes are supposed to be for bluebirds but the swallows tend to get to them first.  They are quite tame if you can inch close to them. If I ever get a better burst shot camera I'll try and get a shot of them catching insects mid-air.  I saw the huge snapper in the lake sunning itself on the floating islands. This poor guy appears to have an abscess on its head. Hopefully it can fight off the infection, otherwise the only way to fix him would be to lance it and disinfect the wound. Perhaps if he eats one of the Canadian goose goslings it will provide healing properties for him... That's all for now, thanks for looking :-)
