Good for the geese

Those two dots you see on the right under the crape myrtle are ganders, and goose is nesting on that little ringy thing out in the lake, to the left of the tree. (It helps to click on the picture for a closer view.)

We built the floating planters last year, on specs Disney provided after we admired theirs, and they used to be matte black, but apparently turtles clambering up on them to sun over the winter wore off the paint.

But I digress. Ms. Goose took up residence in the ring about a week ago, and her two male companions have been standing watch on the shore ever since.

Now, I'm no gansologist, but . . . three? Are they waiting for the results of the paternity test? Or are they just "modern"?
