The Canada Goose (Branta canadensis) is a wild goose belonging to the genus Branta, which is native to arctic and temperate regions of North America, having a black head and neck, white patches on the face, and a brownish-gray body. [...] The black head and neck with white "chinstrap" distinguish the Canada Goose from all other goose species.

Arrived safely back at our vacation log home where the lake is still frozen and the geese, like this pair, are already staking out and protecting their nesting locations, on the small islands we built, against intruders.

Have a lovely Thursday and thanks for visiting.

Back at Bluebird Estates, we were delighted to see that one pair of "our" Canada geese had 10 goslings and the other pair had 6!!!

After a rainy day, the sun is finally out. Hoping for a beautiful sunset tonight and sunrise tomorrow. Fingers crossed :-)

.
Here's wishing you a wonderful new week and thanks so much for the visit.

A fun day at the acreage with family.
My sister-in-law caught a 6lb trout in our lake and we enjoyed it for our evening meal out on our deck :-)

Have a great Friday and thanks for coming by.
