Our baby geese now look like they could almost fly.

Our pair of geese hatched out six youngsters earlier this spring, and have done a great job nurturing and protecting their offspring. The “kids” are almost big enough to fly.

In other wildlife news, yesterday we moved this snapping turtle to a location safer than the intersections of the lanes on our 19.5 acres. It looked like it was getting ready to lay eggs.

All the wild critters around here help desensitize horses used for cross-country and trail.
