Ok, so the goose finally hatched her eggs, but not without lots of drama. Apparently, an old boyfriend showed up at the last minute, I assume claiming these were his babies. So the male goose who has stayed in the neighbors pond, over looking the mom and her nest the whole 4 weeks, was suddenly having it out, with what I am assuming is an ex in our own front yard. My wife had to go out and break it up.
So then when all the goslings are hatched they leave our property and go over to the neighbors fancy pond, and we are left with nobody, not even the ex.
Very disappointing.
Meanwhile, in the hall going into our bedroom from an outside deck, I found a birds nest again.
If I thought we had a chance of these birds staying, I would have given them a shot, but with my luck, they would be woodpeckers.
