Well, I posted this and forgot to add my information... This pair of Canada Geese had made their nest atop the chimney on this 3 story home...so tall, that my lens could only take in 2 floors.
I did a little research and learned that these geese will indeed sometimes do this and if it is a 2 story building with turf and not pavement below, the goslings will take a leap, and or, be pushed off by one of the parents. Since they are light and fluffy, they usually do not get hurt.
However, a 3 story house is not a good thing at all. Besides that, this is the same yard, not even 200' away that the Red-shouldered Hawks now have built a nest. That is a whole other story, with much more to share next post~
Ah, the old Canada Geese, aren't they lovely. And, you caught them flying, well done Mary.
ReplyDeleteMary,
ReplyDeleteI always thought Canada Geese needed space to landing and a running take off. We never had any at our pond because of not the space to fly off.
Interesting about the Canada Geese! At this time of year I se them on my daily walks.
