Goose

 

Goosey, goosey, gander,
Whither shall I wander?
Upstairs, and downstairs,
And in my lady's chamber.

 

You won't find this goose in any wild birds guide book because it is a domesticated bird. Except that this one isn't. It is feral and living "in the wild" along the Corte Madera Creek. This may be the fault of, or to the credit of, a German lady that feeds geese and ducks of various stripe (just an expression) near the Bon Air Bridge every evening at 6 PM. This may, or may not, be a good practice, and hotheads on both sides of the issue periodically make their opinions known.

 

As a vegetarian I have a very hard time listening to discussions about whether the Christmas goose will fit in the oven! Arrgh!
