Canadian Geese

The Canadian Goose is ubiquitous on the prairie country at this time of year. When I arrived several weeks ago, they were also arriving in their ones and twos. At the ranch, however, they were gathering in their hundreds (if not thousands) in the wetlands surrounding.

These three were part of a much larger flock that entertained me on my little stroll. There's a protected breeding ground for them adjoining the home yard, which my cousins see as a brilliant bonus to living here.
