Homer was a much beloved goose over at the pond.
Homer
He was all alone for years, so a lot of us were excited when he had a companion. The local paper asked for suggested names, then they had people vote. The consensus was the new goose should be named Edna.
Edna
I have a lot of Homer and Edna pictures in these Flicker albums: 6-12-21 Homer, Edna, and the Pond and 9-06-21 Homer and Edna
It turns out Edna was a great choice for a name, because when Homer passed away they realized Edna was male, not female. So his new name became Ed.
Then Ed got a companion, so far unnamed, and they had goslings. One of the goslings survived so the three of them now hang out together. I took a few pictures last Friday:
And here’s a video of them taken Saturday night:

Lovely photos and video. Thank you.
God bless.
They are so sweet. Will watch video later. I am trying to think what to name the other goose.
…how do you tell them apart?
I’m always amazed at how white birds are able to keep themselves.
Ed and Edwina! They are content geese.
they are a lovely family and I really like your photo that includes the flowers. warms the cockles of my heart
What a story. I believe they mate for life?
That’s a very sweet story.
That’s too funny about Homer and Edna. Glad to hear Ed got a female companion this time. I enjoyed watching the video. Now I’m off to go look at the pictures.
Too sweet! I hope they’ll publish the baby’s name sometime soon.
They are so cute and fun to watch. It’s sad that Homer died though.
So we are going to guess that Edna/Ed’s new companion is female:). Such a nice story – loved the video.
That seems to be what has happened. 🙂
lovely story thanks for sharing
