I Got Mugged!!!
I got mugged at the mall leaving the car for lunch today! I didn't see the family of geese coming around my front bumper and mom and pop goose both got a piece of my ankle before I could get back into my car! They went along their happy little way once I was no longer a perceived threat. The iPhone picture is not great for colour - the babies were a REALLY bright neon yellow...so cute!

Mall security said the chicks hatched about 10 days ago. This pair build a nest somewhere on the upper parkade at this mall every year. Security watches out for them, puts up security fencing around the nest if they can find it and leave plates full of goose pellets and bowls of fresh water as well. Last year one of them brought in a kid's bottle cap pool for the little ones to swim around in! I didn't have the camera phone until recently so I've never gotten a photo before now.

I think they can lay anywhere from 4 to 10 on average. The geese around the lake at a park near my home seem to have 6 or so following them around most years. I'll have to take a walk up this weekend. This time a year is a riot with all the chicks running around and mom and pop chasing after them! The honking snorting and hissing is a hoot to listen to!
