Canada Geese - Alberta / Edmonton
susha:
A wicked windstorm destroyed the nest and crushed the five eggs today. :'( Mother Goose, Patience, was not hurt and might start another nest according to the Edmonton Journal website.
Elaine L:
Patience is looking a little bored, and not tired at all. She just got up and counted her eggs, and yes, all five were still there, no change. No sign of dad this time around, but I expect that he will show up before the night is out.
Elaine L:
It is going to be a long way down, when the chicks leave the nest! Their little wings will really get a workout.
I can hear mom and dad honking up a storm right now, so something has set them off. Oh, I see mom just returned to the nest, so I guess all is well, and she and dad were just having a lengthy conversation.
Kinderchick:
Mother Goose (Patience) is on the nest right now. According to the website, this year, she chose the highest location yet. She is nested 4 meters up off the ground on a bale in a covered shed of a farmer's property... She has just left her nest and I seem to count 5 eggs right now, but there could be more.
The Peregrine Chick:
For those wanting to go direct to the webcam, here is another link ...
