Two young things

[splashhopper]

Went early morning fishing last Sunday.

 

Had my line set up and sat down on my chair to watch the float for a few minutes in an isolated hole off Lake Huron when i hear this noise at my feet..

 

These little Canada geese gosling's had nestled up to my boot.

 

 

After looking around for their parents for a while, I picked em up and put em inside my raincoat, shivering their little brains out.

Within a few minutes they were fast asleep.

 

A short while later a guy i fished with a few times shows up. I show him the goslings in my jacket and he asks what I am gonna do with them. I was thinking of taking them to my friends farm just down the road when he said his wife is an animal rescue volunteer and if i was OK with it, he would take them to her.

 

No problem for me. They were all his. ( his wife called me later that day to reassure me that they would be looked after.)

So much for the raccoons and fox's dinner this time.

I got caught a few weeks back in York Mills between a couple of goslings and a mother. I had to forfeit my Wendy's burger and run.

I think we should be able to claim bonus inches for this....
