Life and Death on the Vermilon River. A Post to WBW.

Vermilon River Canada Geese



Boom and I had just sat down for a rest when this sequence occurred. The protagonists were Reynard the Fox and Goosey Gander. There is no wind, but Boom and the fox were well aware of each other.

Just On The Other Side Of  the Rock Island

The whole sequence speaks for itself. I read in another wild life blog that young eagles suffer a 40% mortality rate. It has been my experience, no scientific proof, that geese parents have 5 goslings, but by the end of the of the season only 3 remain. A 40% mortality rate. So he,and other predators,are not always unlucky.
