Family of geese enjoying flooded backyards

English: Geese standing in water on a flooded backyard, in the Midwest, US.

How wonderful it is to capture a site like this. This family of geese are flocking a flooded backyard with seven goslings as you can see from the picture. When they are in ponds or streams, they propagate ripples of small wave of water outwards while they swim, flock and float through the streams. The goslings learn how to swim and feed from mother goose and father goose. Father goose stay on guard to protect them from intruders.

Mother goose and father goose tell endless short and long stories to their goslings while they flock and grow with other geese, small animals like squirrels, deer, weasels, ferrets and beavers. Come see them chasing baby fish found on the banks of streams, worms and also reptiles.

They feed on grains like birds, weeds and worms found in muddy areas and wetland.

These family of whitish-gray geese are common in cooler places such as Spokane, Washington which is close to Victoria Island and Alaska in Canada. They are known to migrate to places of moderate temperatures throughout the year and they nest twice a year by the banks of river. They can be easily identified by the sounds they make. They are consumed by wild animals as well as humans.

They tend to have two to twelve goslings during nesting seasons with other pairs of geese and raise their goslings through six months period while they cultivate the life cycle of geese. After a year or two, you will find them parenting their goslings.
