This afternoon we went out to Bluffer's Park to do a little scavenging on the beach. At the end of the foot trail, you'll find a little lighthouse surrounded by rocks. It was here that I almost stepped on a pile of twigs and feathers which turned out to be the home of three large Canada Goose eggs. This was a very exciting moment for the three of us. Duncan had never seen eggs in the wild and it was so magical being able to get so close to nature like this. Ken had a bad feeling that the nest had been abandoned, since there was no mother goose coming after us like a scene from The Birds. I hope the eggs hatch.
Hinterland Who's Who has a page on the Canada Goose, including a picture of a nest with eggs.
go to www.hww.ca and enter Canada Goose in the search engine. I couldn't get this connection up as a hot link.
