CAROL GREEN'S STORY
February 2008

Mama and Papa Goose have just returned for their third year
 and we are anxiously awaiting the nesting process, the 
incubation period and the best part, watching the arrival of 
their babies.  We get to know them a little better each year.  


This year it only took one day for them to remember who we
were and come running to us when we approach, always with
 food, of course!!!  




Mama took a nesting break. They nest near the pond in the
 front of the house and then after the babies hatch, they
 walk them to the lake in the back of the house.  



They generally stay only one day after the babies' birth and
 then disappear.  We haven't figured our where they go when
 they leave our home.  I think they walk to the big
 Chattahoochie River about 1/2 mile (as the crow flies)
 across the back forrests.
