Oh baby, you've grown! May 24, 2014

It is amazing how fast this baby Canada Goose grew!  The first picture was taken on May 4 and the second May 24.   I know its very unlikely that this is the same baby but for blog sake let's pretend it is.  

I am a docent (and so was David) at Dickerson Park Zoo, part of what I do there used to involve helping in Education with Zoo class where we would walk multiple children down a long sidewalk fully loaded with duck poo, helping each child do the poo dodge to keep their feet neat and clean.  I feel for people who have had bad experiences with them but I still love to see them, just maybe not over-populated in public places. 

QUICK FACTS ON THE CANADA GOOSE:  
ADULT WINGSPAN IS BETWEEN 4.2 TO 6.1 FEET
LONGEST WINGSPAN EVER RECORDED WAS REPORTEDLY OVER 7 FEET
MALE AND FEMALE MATE FOR LIFE 
FEMALES ARE SMALLER THAN MALES
