Default Early Canada Goose Hatchlings!
While driving north from Edm. on Manning Dr (hwy 15) near the Edm. Max penitentiary you can see some mature Canada Geese with groups of very small goslings on the north side of road. Seems very early to me.
Has anyone else seen Canada Goose hatchlings already this year?

Signs of spring. Loving it. People tend to forget the horrendous winters we had 3+ years ago. Loving the reprieve

Thats crazy stuff, never have I ever heard or seen such a thing before early May. Is it possible they'd like to have a 2nd hatch too? or 3?

Probably facing an uphill battle for survival.

golf courses are a waste of great 3D ranges and trap or skeet ranges
