There's something magical about the return of spring and the beautiful combination of all the nesting ducks, geese, and swans. Thanks for your story. Time in the outdoors is one of the few things that can lift my spirits. Thank goodness, we live near a lake just outside of town that hosts all of the above plus egrets and herons. After the baby geese hatch and are out and about on the road (the lake is divided by a road), the parents are very territorial and nip/chase and honk at Don when he tries to get by them to finish his daily run. It's pretty humorous when he returns and tells me about the interactions.
I love this. The home I grew up in sat near a slough, this story brought back many memories.
