Special visitors to the NWBM office

Saturday, May 22nd, 2010

The other afternoon we had some surprise guests come marching down our driveway – an entire family of geese. Mom took the lead, followed by her goslings, and dad brought up the rear. They waddled around the side of the building and out to the pond in back for a dip. These cute critters had the whole staff up out of our seats to watch the show!

On the way to the pond.

Mama bird has been busy. A fifth egg appeared in the nest this morning.

New arrivals coming to NWBM

Right next to our front door is a cone-shaped basket – meant to place flowers or other decor in – but now the basket has a new purpose. A mama bird has made a nest and laid four eggs in the basket. I haven’t yet seen which of our local birds have decided to call the office home, but my guess is the pair of Rosy Finch I’ve seen hanging out around here a lot in the last week.

Stay tuned, we’ll post more pictures when the babies arrive!
