Babies-to-be…thanks for the wind-up! Awwwwwwww…..
Laughing. I was hoping this was coming.
A new tent city starting up, goose style. Poor homeless thing. Her kids don’t stand a chance.
First thing I thought. Could she have picked a more vulnerable spot.
Yes, way too exposed to people and dogs and birds of prey. Not a chance for her to make it through the nesting!
Tent City! Thought that too. Look at that hardscabble stick nest.
I know. It’s no mansion!
What are you doing up so early????
I’ve been watching the news about what’s going on in the States and I find it very upsetting. Couldn’t sleep thinking about how Biden is enabling drug and human trafficking by allowing all the illegal immigration. I’m all for legal immigration, but this is a crime what he is doing. Hard to sleep after watching all those children whose parents don’t seem too worried about sending them on these trips alone.
It’s a major problem. Don’t think that Biden wants this, but he’s got it and now needs to deal with it. And how parents can send their kids with traffickers is beyond my comprehension.
excellent
Smiling. Your kind of post. Thought of you are your posts and heartwarming themes.
thank you. and I saw a contrast to the ones I wrote about the goose who laid hers on a rock in the river, ill-fated from the onset
You wonder what’s going through their heads on nest location selection.
I told DK they found your egg, adopted it and built the best around it. 😁
We’re going with that Dale.
😁
that would be lovely
I thought so! 🙂
let’s hope that life finds a way…
Yes….
What a place to nest …. You’ll get great shots of the goslings 😊
Let’s hope so!
All the things we learn along the way … tender … ☺️❣️ sending you joy smiles hedy 💫
Yes. Tender. That’s describes it beautifully!
Is this how the saying “silly goose” came to be? Idk, maybe she knows what she’s doing. As long as her protector is near — and no one clumsily sets any eggs to rolling around…
Silly Goose. Good one. It does make you wonder of all places to nest, why here in the wide open????
Open water is not raptor-preferred space (& no eagles were sighted?); no boat tie-ups (yet); Mr. Goose can take seagulls; no easy getaway for marauding land animals; order-out food delivery can find them easily, idk 😊 but here’s hoping with Mama!
Uber Eats!
😄
Oh my, as so many others have noted, this seems like an awfully vulnerable spot. Here’s hoping for a protective veil over this mama….
Agree!
Reblogged this on It Is What It Is and commented:
Sweet small, marvels of life!! … “And her mate was just to her right, keeping watch … DK & Daybreak.”
What the hell were they thinking? Oh my goodness…
Right!
And 28 days to incubate eggs!
If they manage to hold on for 28 days, that will be a miracle.
Oh hey, I had a thought. It’s Beth’s egg that they found. They felt bad so the decided to adopt it and built the nest around it! 😉
Funny!!!!
I have my moments 😉
perfect
Loving your lens, David. Your eye, of course. 🤗
Thank you!
