I saw the two parent geese swimming by the dam yesterday. They have been raising a new family every year at Beechwood Lake for the last 4-5 years. They always seem to return, so they too must recognize how nice a spot it is.
A few of their goslings are lost to snapping turtles, other predators, etc, but seeing the goslings is always a treat. Keep your eyes out!!
And of course, the blue heron, the green heron, and king fishers seem to continue to make it here through the winter.
