Right behind the Pioneer Carver Center is a very pretty little pond which is totally frozen at the moment. I could see the geese through the window of the presentation room we’re in and had to take a quick shot of them before it gets too late.

They look pretty healthy. I’m betting that some pretty good quality corn is grown around here and these birds are well fed on the leftovers.

The warmest coat I’ve ever had was filled with goose down. It’s got to be pretty good protection or even these birds couldn’t sit on the ice in comfort.
