The Cat Tail Swamp


This is a swamp south of St Thomas, Ontario, that I drive past on my way home from work some days. A few weeks ago, I noticed these humps. 
Someone, or something, has cut the cat tails and humped them up, creating open spaces of water.


What are they?


Of course the first thing that entered my mind was... Beavers!
And then I thought, no... We're too far south for Beavers. We don't have them here...




And then Saturday Dick and I drove past and we saw a Canada Goose sitting on one and we cried, "Yureka! They're for the geese!" 
But no, I haven't seen any geese sitting on them since Saturday...




 So! I'll just have to keep my eye on them and see what, if anything develops!




What do you make of it all?

All of these photos were again shot and loaded directly from my Nikon P90 and then posted without alteration of any kind.
