May 21 - Manchester Road
Today we went to the trailhead on Manchester Road that is just south of Nesmith Lake. Our mission was to check on the ducklings and goslings Kay had seen there several days ago. We saw them all, and they were getting much bigger. Right away we saw four geese and a large group of goslings, who were very active. On the grass, Kay spotted a mallard and her ducklings, huddled together. When the ducks finally ventured into the water, we noticed that the geese were bullying them. The ducklings were so cute, with very distinct markings and tiny wings that they tried to flap. Maybe we've seen enough ducks and geese for the time being.
