I’m a lot like you: I notice stuff like this family of geese and I think it’s neat that they’re around us, doing their thing.

I live within walking distance of the hospital, too, and I often walk my dogs around there. I have noticed a surprising number of wild animals in that area and I’m sure that they’re drawn to the place by the pond behind the hospital.

Probably the funniest phenomenon I’ve witnessed over in the hospital parking lot is that there are a few KAMIKAZEE BLUEJAYS who always divebomb at my dogs and me whenever we walk there in the morning. It’s pretty funny, becuase at least one of my dogs could kick a Blue Jay’s butt (although the others couldn’t) but the birds are fearless.

I encourage everyone who likes wildlife to wander around that Lincoln Street area because there’s a lot of cool life to be seen if people will take the time to observe it. I’m an old Zoology major who still has a big appreciation for wildlife, so I’m very glad that you took time to post this cool entry on the geese.

Thanks!
