RF, I found this goose sitting on a good sized nest at that pond yesterday. If she gets off today, I'll be able to get an early egg count. Jonathan

Those are quite the "flippers" on that bird- you're right! Nice work Jonathan!

KC, Saw only one transient Common Loon this year over the big lake March 31st. Besides the geese on the pond today, there were only 3 other ducks - a pair of Red-breasted Mergansers and a lone drake Long-tailed Duck. Jonathan

Tommie, That may look like a laugh, but is a scream with a tongue lashing! Here is a better look from a hen nesting when I got too close to her nest 7 years ago - 26 April 2011. I learned my lesson. The male nabbed the calf of my left leg with a vise grip and wouldn't let go. Had to grab him by the neck in a serious choke hold before he let go. That was a memorable encounter. A video of that caper would have been a treasure. Jonathan
