Here in Nashua, NH, there's a gaggle of Canada geese that favor the Nashua River and the surrounding river walk. This summer, the river area has been a construction zone.
This project to create a river park is expected to take another 15 months.
Soon more followed, although managing on the sidewalk under construction with webbed feet proved somewhat challenging.
After a look around, the geese headed back to the river. Interestingly, they wisely avoided the construction and walked on the gravel instead.
Enjoy Your Weekend, Everyone
Rain on Friday, then the weekend is sunny in Nashua, NH

Loud applause for intrepid CANADA Geese. Somehow the words “park” and “concrete” just don’t go together. I bet the geese think so, too.
Great captures of the geese, Dorothy. They are smart critters! That park will be a lovely addition to that area!
It doesn't take them long before their inquisitiveness gets the better of them, does it?
Those poor geese are just waiting impatiently for that park, aren't they? Stay dry!
love the photos, they are stories in each one and made me smile and laugh and feel good. silly geese
It looks like those geese had a good time exploring all that construction.
Goosey goosey gander
Where shall I wander?
It's good if they stay out of one's chamber.
I have always enjoyed these geese-very curious-they just want to know what is happening to "their" area
Happy Friday
I wonder how long it will take them to move in!
Geese leave a terrible mess wherever they go. Watch where you step.
Love this post!
It is like the old days when something was going on in the neighborhood, everyone came out the door to have a look see.
A great week to y'all!
Oh my gosh, so cute! I love the reconnaissance group landing in the boat. And one mom even brought along her teenage chicks! Too bad they had to give up part of their territory, this seems to be happening everywhere.
Yes, webbed feet must be somewhat challenging on wire mesh. I'm glad they didn't get stuck and have to be rescued!
Wondering what the crazy humans are doing to the land-lol! :)
Hi Beatrice, I like the idea that the geese sent out 'scouts' before the main grouping ventured into the construction zone. We do get the geese on the local golf courses and some of the folks who have the fortune to live on the lakeshore are plagued by them. One of our neighbors caught 2 young black bears in her backyard on her game camera. We were surprised as the community has been built up a lot in the last couple of years. We did have a pair of fox stroll across our slim tree line in the back of our house a couple of days ago. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
Geese go where they want and do what they want. Awesome series of photos.
...the world is covered with geese and construction!
"Curiosity killed a goose. Satisfaction brought him back."
Fantastic pictures. They must be smart to make their way over the gravel, and not let the plastic barrier stop them. Go Geese Go!!

Love the geese checking things out. You did a wonderful job of following them as they perused the site.
That photo of the geese in the boat is definitely a prize winner. Love it.

The geese are a nice, lively view as opposed to the lifeless, ugly view of the construction materials.
I wonder if they gave their approval after inspection. 😁
My goodness, those geese have guts. They're all over the place. Great photos, btw.
A funny story about the geese. They must be wondering what is happening to their habitat. It should be a nice park when it is finished and I hope a place for the geese to visit.
Nice to meet the extended goose family. Love that they checked out their future home.
Great captures of the geese. It will be interesting to see it all done.
they look a bit like building inspectors, hopefully they approve of the work on their new home!! whomever pours the concrete better be very careful those guesse don't get into it!! so nice to see open space being used for a park!!
