Hey Maxx here!
Is everyone getting excited for camping season? Are you? Huh?
Everything seems to be happening early in the campground this year. The purple finches are back already. The trees are turning green already. And animals are nesting earlier than usual.
This last week, David told me how he’d accidentally flushed a mother goose off her nest when he walked the narrow stretch of land out to the beaver hut. He backed off right away, but he was sad to report that the mom hadn’t gotten back on the nest before he left the area.
He was a little worried, so I decided to take a walk today to see if all was well. Standing on the mainland shoreline with my binoculars, I could just barely (through the trees) see her nesting again. When I told Tami, she said she’d try to bring her great big telephoto lens and tripod down next week and see if she can get a picture of it from the shoreline. It might be hard though, ’cause it’s kind of far away.
Dave was really glad when I told him the good news. He says he’s going to block off that jut of land until Mama Goose has put those babies in the water . . .
Good to hear the geese are doing well there. I have a pair with a nest on my pond at home.
