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!

this goose couple really spoke to me for some reason. I couldn't stop staring at them even though there were less common birds around

Canada geese are always seductively begging to be grabbed by the neck with both hands and choked to death

i decided to BRUSH up (haha) on my digital painting skills today! i painted on top of a photo i took, so it's not completely an original piece, but it was definitely good practice for painting textures!

(original picture vs painted over version)

Smooth Sailing

I found a couple of Canada geese on the kids’ fishpond. It was cloudy but the water was smooth as glass.

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!

Stay tuned for more breaking goose news and read our first post about this year's geese here.

Taking a break from regularly scheduled warriorcats for some Canada Geese. Geese are a species that is absent from canon except in naming conventions, so I think it is reasonable to believe the cats could encounter geese with some regularity to know what to call them. I really do feel like other species are treated with plot relevance status only which is a shame, it would add a lot to the atmosphere of warriorcats to have other species in the narrative as omens, competition, or special seasonal events, as it would likely be with a goose hunt. let some cat notice geese on the lake already! I love them, they're horrible.
