Heard an extremely loud piercing goose honk while sitting at the kitchen table...it kept up and I decided to go out and check on things. I saw 3...

I just snapped this photo to show the Canada geese sleeping on top of the iced pond AND on land, to the right, under the birch tree are 9 of the...

Oh my ! I hope the poor dear can fly like a Canada goose....

Thought I'd show some pix of what I can my pond through this season. These are from May and June. Rebecca

Think Where's Waldo..what do you see ? :D

These 2 guys have been pond dwellers since b4 I moved here. No babies. I love the pompador style 'doo' on the brown duck.

With Waterlilies! My hardy Pink did great last winter and has really increased, of course the amount of increase wasn't immediately noticeable....

I had to snap this photo ! Scores of Canada geese and if you were here you'd see different kinds of ducks: buffle heads, canvas backs and the...

I would like to know if it's possible to grow a lotus, indoors, in a tub. The tub is 19 inches diameter, and 17 inches deep, and I have a spot where...

Look who showed up at feeding time today. I have no idea where it came from or what it is. I looked up crested duck and lo and behold it is a crested...

Yesterday there was no wind(imagine that in Kansas !). The pond surface was like a mirror ! It was a Thomas Kincaid photo moment. I cropped the ducks...

Last fall I did not bring my water lily inside, but left it at the bottom of my "pond". surprise of surprises, it actually survived and has grown...

Chase enjoying the pond

Took this one today. Notice they don't quite navigate in a clump anymore. 11

Oh my goodness ! Was I ever surprised! I had just taken a photo of a daylily and then went over to seedlings against the house that Hummingbird vine...

These guys have been pond hopping for a couple of weeks now. I count 14 goslings and 3 adults. As you can see the domestic white geese do not want...

Barring the remote possibility that this one duckling hatched later than its siblings, this is one smart duckling. As you can see it is younger than...

'tis the season ! Seems like families where the male sticks around have a better chance--more protection. Babies not quite able to eat corn yet::

Today, as I came home from the grocery store, and turned my head to do a quick account of the pond wildlife, I saw a pile of still white feathers. I...

It's been about two years since the last eagle cam. Here is the latest. The eagles are in Florida and an eaglet just hatched over the weekend. It...

OK, it's a stretch putting a possum photo under Water Gardens and 'justifying' it because it looks wet. LOL! BUT, isn't it weird to see a possum...

Photo #1:

here are 2 photos of Canada geese and domestic geese on the half frozen pond. It is touch and go as they walk on that ice as it is very thin and open...

Just a quick pic of the Canadian geese, domestic geese and yes, look along the fence in the leaves...ducks. There were some canvas backs in the pond...

I am in total awe. Within the last 30 minutes, I saw these two actually fly in and land in the water they are huge(wing span). Can you guess what...

I'm hoping someone knows something about domestic geese--the big white/grey ones. The pond has a flock of 13. 3 parents had 10 babies last Easter....

There are 13 but not all are in the photo. They are all the same size and a force to be reckoned with.... (Please also see next thread "Not A...

This duck intrigues me. It is not a Mallard. It has a white neck ring and a gorgeous tortoise shell pattern on its back and front feathers. (The...

Today I had a Canada Goose appear with something around its neck. I assumed some stupid prankster and was ready to figure out what to do. Upon closer...

The feeding rule is 'not in the backyard' because I do not want the ducks/geese thinking backyards are safe. I made an exception for this mama duck...

This morning I was awakened by the lone 'honk' of a Canada Goose. I pretty much know by now that that is usually one goose that has flown in and is...

Just a photo. Of course, it's way on the other side !

I adore them, and I am always thrilled when I see them! I have some little bitty ones in the kiddy swimming pool... We are expecting some rain in...

We have had 3 domestic white geese on the pond since I moved in. I had heard there were originally 4. About a month ago, one disappeared. The...

I came home today and did a double take as I saw 2 pairs of adult geese with 10 goslings between them. I have no idea where they came from and the...

My DH and Jordan also built me this arbor.

My DH (Jeff) and youngest son Jordan (14) helped my cousin Dennis build this waterfall and pond. It's a little bare, the pond isn't even full yet,...

I have two Mallard duck eggs in the yard. There is no nest. They are on very short grass--almost dirt. The two parents are nearby. Yesterday it was...

Ann- I snuck this one in under Water Gardens as it is also our little place for animal stories. Recalling your garage kitty/ greenhouse kitty, I...
