Saw my first batch of puff balls following ma and pa goose yesterday. I swear it get’s earlier every year. I would have thought with the cold weather and snow they would hold off on nesting, but I guess not.

Baby geese

I have not seen any Baby Geese yet. We do have baby mallards in the wetland ( Normally dry land ) in our back yard. I found it strange that I saw baby ducks before baby geese. I believe this is the 1st time that this has happened – For me anyways.

With the water clarity rapidly improving and killing walleyes that were once stacked on top of eachother like firewood, the geese can now more successfully locate their mates earlier, thus causing the earlier hatches.

Because Geese and Ducks are the cause of all of our AIS problems – Lakeshore owners associations will no longer allow them on THEIR lake – That is unless they fly to a inspection site in Mexico and have their butts inspected and go thru wash down process. Then they will be allowed to return to use the lakes here. Unless they lose their sticker along the way back.
May 10, 2019 at 3:02 pm #1856077I can say for sure that I have one sure sign of spring that I can remember back at least 25 years. It’s the date where the flowering crab trees are at full bloom. I can tell you nearly every year they would be at full bloom on mother’s day, otherwise known as the day after opener.
I’m still waiting for the first flower to open on mine this year.
