Welp, the nice little goose family I encountered a few days ago has morphed into a gang. They hang out in this one spot along the W&OD Trail in the morning. I’ve seen them twice since my earlier post and the goslings are noticeably larger than they were then.
They’re placed on either side
of the trail, so you have to pass between the phalanxes. It’s pretty harrowing
because geese are the Crips of the avian world.
Yesterday I walked the
gauntlet again; had to give them all my loose change just to make it to the
other side. The only reason I escaped with my mobile phone was because I
promised to Venmo them $20 for gourmet snails. (Also, it was too big to fit in
the gang leader’s beak.)
Moreover—you have to walk very
carefully when you go where geese have gone before. If you catch my drift.
