Urban Fowl

The turkeys, now numbering three, have been spotted all up and down Avenue Louis Pasteur.I haven't seen them spread their tail feathers (they're not mating), but they're rather pretty and iridescent when you look closely.

This guy's checking out his reflection in the window.

And back to the geese.

The grass had gotten very high. (That's what we dramatic types call "foreshadowing.")

An older group of goslings, being led by their parents, crossed the greenway. The younger goslings are in the foreground.

And then the older kids were off, crossing the street.
It rained a bit last week.

This kid was great. He was feeding the birds and had an audience of ducks, pigeons, starlings, and a squirrel.

You may be tired of seeing goslings; here's a duckling.

I've never seen pigeons sitting down, let alone lounging in the grass.

The pigeons aren't the only ones enjoying laying on the grass in the sun.

The Public Garden

The little nook neighborhood park on my street.

I walked to work the other day and found two people mowing the lawn of my little swath of greenway.
I guess it really did need to be mowed. And although the geese were absent that afternoon, by the next day, they had returned and were munching freshly cut grass. Boy, all they do is eat and poop.
