59 Iced Goose and Berry – Thursday, February 28th, 2008

Plump and sweet and out of reach,

I watched this goose pursue

a frozen treat, she’d love to eat

without quite falling through.

Two roads exist to this dessert

both equal in reward.

One requires cunning

the other leaves her bored.

To swim her way through broken ice

and snatch the berry quick

or find the only frozen path

on ice that’s firm and thick.

Today she’ll choose MacGuyver’s way

and test her will to win

treading lightly, dry she’ll stay

without quite falling in.

41 Fowl Attitude – Sunday, February 10th, 2008

I raced down to the Lake to catch the site of the snow falling on the water. This Swan Goose became immediately agitated at my presence and tracked my movement around the Lake’s edge. I decided to simply ignore her and continued to snap pictures until she came very close and began hissing. Sheesh, I guess not everybody likes snowfall on Lake Afton as much as I do.
