Tonight I went for a long walk and talk with a friend. We decided to go out to the Little Red Park across the river from where I live. It’s a nice piece of wild land inside our city limits with lots of walking trails.
I was out there a few weeks ago and, as I was watching a goose squawk at me and take off for the water of the pond beside us, I noticed the reason for the commotion – a nest with about three eggs. I had inadvertently scared her away from her nest. 
Tonight we took a little detour on our walk so I could check on the nest. This time I made sure I did not get so close as to frighten her. She was there sitting on the nest.
Tonight our wildlife treat was watching a big fat beaver. It seemed to be oblivious to the presence of all the onlookers. It strolled nonchalantly on the grass nibbling at sticks and dandelions.
