I counted four pairs of Canada geese at the pond this afternoon... that's four more pairs than were there at the beginning of the week.
They're big birds, and pretty uncommon at that park, so I'm not sure what is making it seem so inviting right now...
In other news, the Shovelers are still around, but the Buffleheads seem to have moved on; I saw them fly off the pond on Monday morning and haven't seen them since. I heard from another park visitor that both the heron and the osprey were seen there earlier today.
I think one of the funniest things about Canada geese is that they're dabblers. It's kind of silly when they upend themselves.
