Ok, Mom & Dad Goose are officially nested. YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAH! I was worried for a couple of days. I coudn’t find either of them. Above is my rough (and I mean ROUGH – yes, your 6 year old could do better) drawing of the pond. There are 2 places that the Geese nest. One is on a small built up mound in the shallows on the right side of the pond where all the brown reeds are. Yes, they are reeds. The next place is on a man made platform that is about 3 feet square. It’s under the tree behind a small rise. You can see the Geese as you are traveling north on Oak Tree, but when you are coming south, the platform is hidden behind a small rise in the lawn. And Mom Goose blends in with the brown around her, so if her head is down… and there is a car behind you…. she’s easy to miss. I saw Dad Goose Tuesday on the lawn and then Wednesday swimming alone and I knew Mom was on the nest. Yesterday morning there was no one behind me and I stopped for a look. Mom wasn’t too thrilled with the stop. I didn’t stay long enough to cause too much distress. But I know that they are there and they have nested. Now we just wait for BABIES!
