Climate Change and Geese

[MamaWolf7]

I came across this interesting article about the impact this unseasonably warm winter is having on wild waterfowl...a goose hatching a pair of goslings in December in Canada! When I lived in that city many years ago I have seen more than 3 feet of snow at this time of year. Never goslings!

It's been a warm winter here in Wisconsin. My geese are starting to get rowdy already. 2 full month earlier. Definitely seeing some changes.

Climate change is happening faster in the colder regions, which explains the Fall nesting here. The change is happening way too fast for wildlife to adapt. This will probably start to happen a lot more as time goes by.

In regard to the Fall nesting family, they have rescued the goslings so they can survive the Winter. They attempted to catch the parents too, but were unable to.
