Update on the odd goose: I posted the pics on a birdwatching forum and people have been tossing around some suggestions. The goose was there again yesterday with a mate (regular Canada goose) and I got some pictures of it out of the water. Orange legs, so it seems to be a domestic/Canada hybrid. A domesticanada? A Canadomestic?

Check out the kung fu moves!

Hello - just wanted to say I think you are really funny [in a good LOL way] and I like your observations of what you see. You seem to know a lot about plants and birds. I was doing some research for the Ontario Trails Council [OTC] as they have a new web site - what is your favorite trail around the DON or in ONT? Just curious. Cheers Sonja

Hi Sonja. Thanks for your comment! I don't know if I have a favourite trail, but I've tried a few from "Toronto's Ravines: Walking the Hidden Country" by Murray Seymour. Until I started hanging out at Beechwood wetland so much I often walked the trail from E.T. Seton Park to Pottery Road. I also enjoyed the walk along the Humber from Old Mill Station to Eglinton Ave. I always meant to explore more trails, but then I hooked up with the stewardship program and became obsessed with garlic mustard. And blogging. :)

Love your blog -- great photos and utterly charming commentary. I consulted a bird expert who confirms this goose is indeed a domesticanada.
