We walked down to our neighborhood lake and visited with all the animals that live there. We saw a big moose, bedded down in the reeds at the edge of the lake, sitting there chewing like a cow with big antlers. Past the moose we visited the baby duck cove, where two widgeon ducklings were puttering around in the grasses near shore. Noah pulled the wagon around the corner and down the peninsula where we could see the grebes swimming around, quietly and alone. (They were swimming around in pairs a few days ago, which makes me suspect the mommies are now sitting on their eggs at nests right now...) A common loon made a special visit to our small lake too. But we both saw through the binoculars lots of BABY GEESE! Way back from where we came. So we went back to the spot, tied off the dog, and snuck up on 3 pairs of goose parents and 14 goslings toddling around with their tiny wings eating scratch on the beach. The geese let Noah sneak up until one goose said "sssssss."
