Owls and Geese

An owl has been lurking around.  Whether or not it is the same owl from a few years ago, we do not know.  We do know that something took off with one of the new geese...but it probably wasn't the owl.  Mark, Evie, and Gwin are devastated very upset.


After we watched the owl hunt for awhile this morning, Mark took the camera out to capture the moment.  The Moment was simply us drinking coffee while watching the owl hunt while the geese grazed.


When the owl flew down to pounce on a field mouse, the little geese all started running to Gwin, who had her wings spread open in both a guarding and embracing way.  Gwin has been extra protective ever since the gosling was carried off.


Gwin even gave Jack a good tweak on the ear, just for lying in the dirt too close to a curious gosling.  He jumped up at her like, "What did I do to deserve that? I'm just layin' here!"  Kai heard and decided it was open season on goose...but even Kai is intimidated by Gwin!
