An adult Ross's goose has taken up residense in my back yard. This is
its second year here. The adults become all white, similar in appearence to the Snow Goose but smaller. This Ross's goose must be a male as it has joined a mated pair of Canada Geese and is guarding their babies: https://postimg.cc/QV65S8Ly https://www.audubon.org/field-guide/bird/rosss-goose |

Yoose better go out to the barn and have a serious conference with all your ferals and let them know that the little ones in the yard are "off limits." |

Oh, the goose parents will keep any kitties (or other possible predators) with "ideas" at bay...although if they go for a swim where there might be snapping turtles lurking around and they might be in danger... -- Best, Greg |

Even arctic foxes get plenty of baby geese hunting alone. Just a matter of try and try again. Wild cats could do the same. If his family of barn cats made a plan to hunt in a group, just like wolves do, they could take out the entire goose family easily. Start with the adults then save the babies for snacks later. In Sheldon's area, hawks or eagles would have no problem snatching one as desired. Not only that, remember Sheldon bought a nifty 12-guage which is good for the occasional goose dinner. I don't even trust his intentions. ![]() |

Asked why, he said it was to frighten off the elephants. Told that there are no elephants in New York, he said €œSee €“ it works!' ;-P -- Best Greg |

You can tell by spooking it. leo |
