(136,595 posts)3. I remember seeing goose 'fluff,' down, last year.
I've never seen eggs on this nest, angles haven't permitted (and ospreys keep eggs in 'donut hole,' making visibility impossible.)

(136,595 posts)7. They'll move as soon as they see another 'creature,' and fast;
the adults are very protective! The kids will want to visit with them, but it's ot likely to happen.
Donkees

(32,425 posts)10. With the bird flu mutating, and the chickens next door, I wouldn't want them around, period.

(136,595 posts)11. Right. Fortunately, chickens aren't right next door,
more like a mile up the road.
