Here are some hidden Canadian Geese goslings by the lake for this #wednesdaywalk by @tattoodjay

In the early morning I went out looking for the newly hatched goslings by the lake. All I saw was the mom with her right wing hanging out in a conspicuous way.,

The father was keeping guard. It got pretty cold this morning so I suspected that the goslings were hiding under her right wing.

You can tell she is a bit cold too. She is nice and fluffed up.

I zoomed in as best I could under her wing and saw a couple little goslings keeping warm under her wing.

As I crossed to the other side of the lake I pointed my camera back at the area and boom the goslings were running around.

They all ran out from under her wing and piled up down at the bottom of the hill.

Now that the sun is up the goslings can warm up a bit. This robin was taking advantage of the sun rays as well.

The red-winged blackbirds can also show off in the early morning sun.

Here he is showing off to defend his territory from the other blackbirds in the area.

The trilliums are blooming now as well. Hopefully I can start finding some morel mushrooms soon on my Wednesday walks.

Most I got around 10 feet close to except for the one from across the lake. That was at least 100 feet away.

The weather has been strange here it was 87 degrees then it went down to 40 degrees and I noticed the white trilliums growing along with the red ones. I'm hoping my morel mushroom season didn't get ruined from these drastic swings in temperature. At least the early and late trilliums are blooming at the same time.

That's odd, about the trilliums, but must also be pretty cool!

Soon the other nest on the lake will hatch then there will be goslings galore and the fox will start coming around to try and snag a couple.
