Four or five days ago a lone Snow Goose appeared on
Post Pond in Lyme. It hangs out at the northern end, by Little Post
Pond.... the next day, it was there again, but this time appeared to
be stressed- wild feathers on the head, and blood on it's neck. The next
day a bald eagle was swooping repeatedly over it, very close, and the goose was
diving to escape..... it was not present for the next day, but,
today it appeared in a corn field on the left between Post Pond Lane and Clay
Brook (morning, a short distance form Post Pond).... this evening, or late
afternoon at dusk, it was still there, in pretty much the same place. So I
worry if it will survive the night, and wonder if intervention is warrented by
someone more skilled than I....
