Time Taken: August 2010
I think today is a good day to be a goose!
I shall strut proudly around the lakes, my fine feathered lady following me. Look at my magnificent beak bump! It is magnificent!
We geese shall not fear any humans, even those with odd black boxes that make odd noises! These “cameras” are not to be feared either! Humans are puny things, who leave tasty bread treats for me and my flock! They serve us!
I shall spend my day strutting around, showing myself off! I need to impress the ladies, after all. Perhaps I shall swim, and catch tasty fish, to go with the tasty bread!
More humans, walking on this strange black trail! I shall ignore them, for they never do anything to me, though some bring with them the terrible beasts known as “dogs”. Those are to be feared!
Certainly not to be feared are artists whose brains have melted in the high temperatures that come to this area in late May! They are crazy, and start thinking they are geese, but they are mere imitators! They do not have fine beak bumps!
Does the goose eat the algae on the Lake? Maybe the artist will. There is much algae needing devouring. It will impress the local landowners.
Given how much algae is on that lake, I don’t think the geese can keep up, even if they eat it.
