Vehve, there is another goose that made news as she set up nest in the middle of a construction side by Lethbridge at around the same time. Fortunately they were able to put snow fence around her so she's somewhat left alone, work was able to continue around her for a little bit.
People are in their territory.

BC, thanks, now I got a peek. Pretty cool, and pretty high up. I wonder why it has set up shop there, I thought geese usually nested close to shore. But what do I know, I've only seen swan nests up close. We do have nesting geese out at the cottage too, but I've never seen their nests, just the babies with their parents. The ones that nest there are Barnacle geese, later in fall the grey geese appear, about 3000 of them spend the end of summer and early autumn a few miles from our cottage so during hunting season they fly right over the cottage. We don't really have Canada geese by the cottage, but in other places in Finland there are loads of them.



Those are some beautiful geese, V! Our neighbor has a pond and this time of year the Canadian geese are fighting over who it belongs to. It is only big enough for one pair and they loudly claim it and sometimes there is quite the battle. I think they would be better off going elsewhere since the neighbor kids just bother the nests.

The older couple that used to live there would let them be and we saw cool "family moments" like the ones you posted. There haven't been goslings in a few years now.
