A good day

This magpie goose decided to help himself.


 
I had a good day. Most of the days are varied, including feeding birds and assorted odds and ends. Today I fed ducks, geese and swans, helped clean a pool, hauled some turf, helped capture a red-crested pochard with string down its throat (it came out okay),  helped with catching some white-winged ducks that needed to be inoculated.

Feeding out is like being Santa Claus. Some of the birds get excited.
