This isn't right!! Geese don't lay eggs this high up, in a nest in a tree!!! When the eggs hatch, the little goselings don't have feathers for a long time, yet they walk around and even swimm!! This dumb goose is really high in this tree, I used a lot of zoom to take this picture. I was out with my cow, taking pictures and heard a noise., I looked up and saw one goose fly away, the other still sitting on the nest. We had been seeing this, but couldn't believe it was a for sure thing-- - - but it looks as if it is!! So the little geese are going fall from this tree, and it will be upsetting! I will be watching this daily!! I really do find this upsetting!
Oh, dear. I can see you stretching a net around the base of the tree to give the chicks a chance to survive the fall....
ReplyDeleteBelieve me, all ideas have been considered. I don't know how it even stays up there so high in the wind we have had. Its a worry to me, but others have said this is how Mother Nature weeds out the dumb ones!!! I wish there was something I could reasonabley do!
ReplyDeleteHi Ida,
ReplyDeleteI do hope all turns out well - I am already saying my goosey prayers! Maybe the mom will be realllllllly attentive. Actually, the net is starting to sound like a really good idea, too :).
I also want to mention how much I enjoyed your last landscape painting!
Cheers to you and thanks for watching out for our feathered friends,
Sandy
