A Goose Family Feathursday
Mildred and Horace Start a Family!!
Every spring for the past few years a mating pair of Canada Geese take up residence on the green roof outside our window for a couple of weeks. We've named them Horace and Mildred, and we did a post about them in 2021. We wondered if they would ever establish a nest in the roof's sedum, but they just hang out for a few weeks and then depart. This year they finally decided that our roof was suitable to start a family and about 20 days ago Mildred set up housekeeping with a downy nest and six eggs near one of the vents on the roof. We are all very excited here in Special Collections, and we maintain daily goose alerts!
Mildred will incubate her brood for about 30 days, rarely leaving the nest. She is a very devoted mother. Horace on the other hand is usually gone during the day, so we rarely see him. Canada Geese are monogamous and mate for life, so we don't think he's cheating on Mildred, but we all thought he would be more present as the male usually hangs about to help guard the nest, but apparently he has other ideas.
We should see some hatchlings in about ten days or so, and we'll bring you an update then. While we are interested in seeing the couple nest on our roof, we also have concerns. There is no water, and the goslings will be susceptible to falling off the roof and becoming prey to raptors and other avian predators, especially the peregrine falcons that raise their own families on the nearby roofs of our campus's tallest buildings. Nature will have its way, but we do hope that Mildred and Horace have strategies for keeping their family safe.
Stay tuned!

"Sparrows... In the Bible it says, "The sparrow will not fall to the ground, not even a sparrow, without God knowing." He feels every death."

Now the scum from the creek is filling up your cheeks, and you can hardly speak
While the bones in your brain grind themselves away, they will make you sane
Some Maneater Mildred love because I'd give her the whole world (what she does with it is none of my business, however ...)

A mini comic of @starzzyeyed’s amazing fic Lady Luck!
I had so much fun doing this- almost as much fun as I had reading about Spencer Reid, raccoon rescuer!
(I absolutely beg you to click on the image because no doubt tumblr will destroy any quality it has xxx)
