Landscape by the house. Walking with Yuki, and here, a heron waits for breakfast to swim by. A few days ago, on the other side of the pond, a goose was murdered. Right now as I write this post, I’m passing by that place. Feathers are scattered everywhere. A couple of days ago, there was a headless carcass here. We were really worried because it was surely the father of one of the goose families with growing goslings. He and their mother lovingly watched over their little ones, swam with them, protected them. The fate of the goslings was unclear. Nothing is left of the father today, although strangely, I saw not a single vulture in the meadow. Usually, they come in several and clean up the area. My neighbors give three theories in local socials as a response to my report – a fox, a coyote, or a raccoon. I haven’t seen any raccoons here, nor coyotes, but the neighbors say they are around. I did see a neighbor’s cat wandering once. Besides the aforementioned creatures, it should also beware of large predatory birds. Haven’t seen the cat for a long time.
