Hey, Shadow..neat story!! It sounds like you are in a really pretty area what with all the wildlife you enjoy (I recall the time the bear came into your (apple orchard?)!

There is a gaggle of Canadian geese that afaik have taken up permanent (year-round) residence on at least one local golf course. They are quite something!!

Hope you will have lots of fuzzy babies about soon!

(something kinda familiar about the first named pair you have there! :) :wink:)
