They're usually penned-same pen with the cow & the sentinel goose in the last picture-but they seem to get out somewhat regularly. The fence looks like it's seen better days. This is the first time I've seen them cross the road, but it is very rural so we're always on the lookout for something. One night I followed an escaped cow and her owner down the road.

Several centuries ago I mentioned some white domestic ducks I'd pass on my way to work Sunday mornings. I never could get a picture of them...until yesterday on my way home from the drug store.  Turns out they're domestic geese.

I saw them milling around in their driveway and pulled into a parking lot to walk out & get their pictures. I didn't have to leave the car...they had crossed the road, walked down the road & were getting ready to cross back over and go home.

        

Best guess is African and either Roman and/or Embden http://poultrykeeper.com/goose-breeds

Thanks Donna and DK.  I was relieved to see that I couldn't spot it in the other photos, but thought I should check with the experts just to be sure.  You two rock!  happy

I don't know about expert, but thanks!

Always best to check...you never know...

I think weird light on a turned feather...



This one by MAK Friday shows that area clearly & all her stripes seem to me to be lining up properly

Thanks for the heads-up! I haven't been successful in seeing them in days...but I caught a few seconds before PPO got back.

(This barely being able to get here during work anymore stinks...)

So last week I put a quick map together plotting the Scarborough region pefas...

http://goo.gl/maps/uxjP6

East marker is Linn & Rueben, west marker is Quest & Kendal, middle marker is unidentified pefa.

And looking at it again, if it's one of "ours" it's more likely to be Quest or Kendal-they have been to Tam O'Shanter before just north of the mystery pefa
it's not Quest (no transmitter) but it could be Kendal

Would have helped if I had looked at the pictures again before I posted that...duh!

Just read on Twitter that the USDA is coming next week to disperse the Crows for the second time this year.

That's bound to go well.

I know of a few places they could send the money instead of throwing it away...
