A whole bunch of baby geese running around with their parents!

Please do stay in touch if the spirit moves you. You are always welcome at Arboreality of course, and I'll be at your disposal by email as well. I'm glad that my thoughts were helpful to you earlier. Like you, I love the opportunity to dive into a whole new world of study!<BR/><BR/>Trailhead, I was just tickled pink over the geese on the roof! Between that and the owl feather, I had a wonderful morning.<BR/><BR/>LilyB, thanks for the info! I am so incredibly jealous of you playing with a baby elephant.<BR/><BR/>Do you think that they issue Nobel Peace Prizes for Willful Disobedience?Jade L Blackwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15321787298101881675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422439.post-1146758542358095742006-05-04T09:02:00.000-07:002006-05-04T09:02:00.000-07:00I volunteered at the Oregon Zoo in high school and...I volunteered at the Oregon Zoo in high school and at a wildlife rehab center in college and they were both amazing experiences. If you're interested, you should look for a rehab place near you. They're always looking for volunteers.<BR/><BR/>I love elephants; we got to play with a baby elephant in India and he was so cute!<BR/><BR/>And if dogs have a duty to misbehave, my dog Jake should be awarded the Medal of Honor!Amy N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05899323412745542551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422439.post-1146757679389728582006-05-04T08:47:00.000-07:002006-05-04T08:47:00.000-07:00I love love love the one with the geese on the bar...I love love love the one with the geese on the barn!Trailheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06182436295618986839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422439.post-1146714736560066852006-05-03T20:52:00.000-07:002006-05-03T20:52:00.000-07:00There were canadian geese in our chimney...As for ...There were canadian geese in our chimney...As for the owl It is beautiful.

I would LOVE the chance to work with elephants!<BR/><BR/>Those geese DO have a crazy honk! I usually call them honkers, mostly because it fits and it sounds funny, but according to the article I linked to in this post, many other folks call them honkers as well! I guess these creatures come by it honestly. :)Jade L Blackwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15321787298101881675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422439.post-1146670978870624222006-05-03T08:42:00.000-07:002006-05-03T08:42:00.000-07:00What a gorgeous day it is there!When I worked at t...What a gorgeous day it is there!<BR/><BR/>When I worked at the wildlife center we got lots of owls for rehabilitation and Great Horned Owls were the easiest to handle; very mellow and calm. That's a beautiful feather you found.<BR/><BR/>How funny to see Canadian Geese perching on a roof!
