When I was reading in order to gather info for this, I came across several sites that said turtles are often mistakenly blamed, and generally are not the cause of gosling/duckling difficulties.<BR/>I'm glad to know I'm not alone in observing them to be the culprits.<BR/><BR/>I suppose numbers could have something to do with it--our pond must have quite a few!nina at Nature Remains.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07888238636692649668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-37418896300233251212009-04-08T18:23:00.000-04:002009-04-08T18:23:00.000-04:00On occasion I post something called 'Water People'...On occasion I post something called 'Water People'. It's just people staring out over lake Michigan, lost in thought. I think it's kind of interesting but everyone who reads my blog JUST LOVES THEM and thinks I should create a book of them.<BR/><BR/>I wish you would create a very simple tome of some of your writings along with your photos. I would love to be able to sit in a rocking chair or on my back porch over the water and hold a real book of your work and when it wasn't in my lap it would reside on a special shelf next to the Perfection of Morning and Nature's Way....Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07089977665165118563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-50914329663690310922009-04-08T15:18:00.000-04:002009-04-08T15:18:00.000-04:00What a story!

Oh time does fly.<BR/>As for turtles and geese, my brother once lived next to a small pond that had a pair of ducks. One day, the one duck disappeared. I visited him shortly after that, and as we talked next to the pond, the other duck suddenly was pulled under. Snapping turtle! My brother--who is quite fearful of water--rowed out in a small boat and proceeded to whack said turtle with the boat oar until the turtle let go of the duck.<BR/>One duck saved; one brother temporarily overcoming his fear.KGMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165941950953938943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-42169416865734090732009-04-08T11:49:00.000-04:002009-04-08T11:49:00.000-04:00Nice post.
