Canadian Geese Nesting at the Farm

For weeks now, we have been seeing flocks of Canadian geese grazing in fields near the farm, but in the last few weeks they have begun pairing up. In the picture above, a female goose tries to make herself as unnoticeable as possible while still keeping an eye on potential danger. Below is a nest that is located near the tree line of the farm. Near the end of April, the eggs will be hatching and the parents taking the goslings straight off to water, where they will find better protection from predators.
