Greetings, myth lovers! #Easter is around the corner and to honour our egg-laying domestic birds, our theme this week is Chickens, Ducks, and Geese! Tell us a myth about fowl an tag us with #MythologyMonday for boosts. See you Monday! 🐓
The lake is so immense and the opposite shore seems so far away. And we are just little geese. But if we stick together and swim with determination, we can cross this lake.
#ViewFromTheGate I have not posted one of these for a while: world politics have been grinding me down. So decided find a wee plus somewhere and celebrate it. #geese
I started working with Alaska Dept Fish & Game to surgically place trackers in emperor geese in 2019. Since then, we've implanted 189 over 8 different trips, mostly to remote areas with no electricity. It's been a fun challenge with a lot of hard work by many people. Our survival rates have been phenomenal. The data collected has already taught biologists a lot about this remote species, helping to make informed decisions for conservation and for management of an important food resource for Alaska natives. Slowly, the transmitters that were designed to last 18-24 months are starting to blink off after almost 4 years of faithful service. Seeing those dots on a map, moving around, living their lives has been really cool. It's a little sad to lose touch but they've more than "earned" the chance to live the rest of their lives in privacy and peace, swallowed up in a vast wilderness where they rarely see humans. Good luck to them! #birds#research#geese#tracking#conservation
Mais je vous ai pas présenté les p'tits nouvelleaux !!!
Iels sont nés mardi matin et sont bien intégré'es dans le troupeau. Maman et papa et tous les oncles et tantes les protègent bien et ils grandissent de jour en jour.
Je vous propose un sondage pour nous aider à choisir les prénoms sous ce pouet! #Oies#Geese#Oie#Goose#Oisons#Goslings#FarmLife#Spring#Birth
