The Canada Goose is doing so well in this area that they are becoming a nusiance in some areas.
I am always amused to find a group of nests in an area where we bird.
Every nest is different. Some add decorations.
Others just have the bare necessities.
Some have lots of down.
Others don't have much at all.
Then again some have almost all down.
Others flat get ahead of their nest making. I always attribute this to a new breeder.
When you see these little guys toddling along after their parents....
you just have to say awwww.
How low could you go for a juicy bug?
Happy Animal Wednesday Everyone.

Oh Lisa, these are such pretty images. The nests are wonderful. I love nature's artwork.
It is just like us, decorating our homes, so sweet.
I love the one with the feather....sort of making a statement!!
Lovely post.
Your 'show and tell' nests are wonderful! I learned a lot of things I never knew. Great post. Oh that baby gosling is so adorable!! Do you mind if I try to sketch it?

I've never seen those nests before - that's so amazing! We have geese galor here but maybe I just haven't looked hard enough for the eggs. thanks for showing these....and yes...awwwww is all you can say
Dear Lisa,
So very interesting about the different ways the Canada Geese build or not build their nests. Like Cheryl I like the nest with the feather decoration!
Great photographs. The Gosling is adorable.

What neat pics of all the different nests (or lack thereof)! The eggs look so white! Love those darn cute babies!!!
What a wonderful picture shoot Lisa!
Here the geese were in the news as well.
First we complained about having to little gees (the grey ones) We took some measures to make circumstances good for them. Now we have too many geese and they want to shoot them.......
This really pisses (sorry for my language) me off. People who are playing for God all the time and doing a very poor job.........
I think mother Nature is capable of
taking care of itself the best.
Cute goose babies Lisa. I saw a lot of them on my way home.
Hope you are doing ok dear♥
HAW!
So sweet. I wonder what happens to that lone egg? Any one caring for it? Lovely to see these all in photos. Thanks.
These are marvelous! I have never been close to a nest. Exciting!
aaaawwww, I haven't seen any bird nests since coming here, used to love them in Africa. happy AW and all other days too,
I know people think the Canada Geese are a nuisance in places. However, they mate for life and I think that shows an extremelynhigh consciousness. They amaze me. Terah
Oh, this is such a cute post! I love the lone egg on the ground, as if it just "fell out" on the way to somewhere. Oops!
I've never studied goose nests up close so this was fun.
Hi Lisa,
I have just heard about the bad weather in your area on the BBC News. I do hope that you and yours are all safe and well.....
Lisa, this is my favorite post of all this week. It's marvelous! Hahaha, you made me smile and nod my head. And I learned something too; that they might get ahead of their nest building. Well, it happens to people too I guess. Loved it and thank you.
Such a gorgeous post! I love the assortment of nests you come across ~ what a lovely birding spot ♥
Delightful post! I love seeing these birds' nests - very individual!

After the storms we have had, I just wish we could see a few babies.
