getting goosed
I finally found this years goose nest. As you can see it is near where the nest I made for them is located. The nest is on the bank next to the river and merely a depression in the dirt. This pair must have been too lazy to make a nest in the water out of cattail leaves this season. There were 2 snapping turtles (with 20" diameter shells) and a muskrat swimming in the river next to the nest location. Hopefully they either don't like goose eggs or mama goose is a ferocious defender of her young. Since the opposite bank looks directly down on the nest it should be easy to watch the hatching process this year.
