Eagle Pond: Goosle Maintenance

More textural in large.

Yay, it's Mr.! I visited the Goosles this morning with my mother: Mrs. is still sitting on her nest on the island, so we only saw her from a distance. Mr. is much more sociable when he's by himself: he came charging over when we arrived, and took oats from my mother's hand.

It was a pretty grey and drizzly morning, but I've uploaded some other pics to Flickr (right from here) because Mr. was looking v. handsome in spite of the conditions
