Black & White
Though the most common race of Canada goose is so prevalent that it has become a nuisance in some areas, I love the beautiful black and white pattern of the goose’s face. Despite the mess they make of the sidewalks, I even like the small flock that hangs around in the grassy areas at work, as they provide a reminder that no matter how my day is going there is beauty just outside my cubicle walls.

Harbinger of Spring
The sight of the year’s first goslings is a sure sign that spring has arrived. This lone gosling was the only offspring of a pair of geese at Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge. I don’t know if the others hadn’t hatched or if they had died in one way or another, but its parents kept a watchful eye on it and it swam tucked in close between the two of them when they moved about on the water. Here, they let it browse in the grass not long after sunrise.
