Hi!

[themothergooz]

Hello everyone!

I'm not too good at introductions but I'm themothergooz, a nickname given to me by my husband because I communicated so well with waterfowl in my area.

My love for these birds, because of what seems to be their love for me, has grown into a volunteer wildlife monitor position for Lake County, Illinois. This will be my fifth year monitoring and assisting duck and goose families in the area, because raising a family in a highly populated area isn't easy for either the avian or human species.

I came to this forum to learn more about duck and goose biology. There are very little resources on how to help these birds when they run into trouble. I also wish to better understand them, their physical and emotional needs and how I can help them and their human neighbors live in harmony.

Thanks.

This long, wicked cold spell I think has put nesting/hatching behind usual schedule. I know we used to see the Canada geese escorting their brood around weeks earlier.
