Just a glimpse of eggs. Luv that feather lined nest!

STLbf thanks for the egg count confirmation last year. I had thought she laid '6'.
Have a nice Wednesday everyone!

Maybe 4 is enough for this year.  MG seems to be incubating.  She was on the nest most of the night, left for a short while about 5:00 AM, and showed the eggs just before covering them completely.  Lots of feathers now.  I remember last year thinking that she was going to be a bald goose by the time the eggs hatched.  Of course, she wasn't.

Here's the official 2023 RRP nest record for Mother Goose as of today - 03/29/2023.
It shows last year also.

BL, the numbers for goose eggs in 2022 are slightly incomplete. From my pic records:

They laid 6 eggs.
One egg never hatched and was still on the nest on May 10, 2022. The next day or so it was gone, likely from a raccoon.

The five goslings jumped from the nest on April 28, 2022. I can check if it took more than one day.
One of them died in the jump.

STL the 2022 Goose records look correct to me.   

It shows that 6 eggs were laid at N2B.
That 5 goslings hatched.
One gosling didn't survive the jump.   

Four survived and rejoined their parents.

As of a few hours ago Mother Goose was incubating 6 eggs.
They're kind of hard to see with all of moms comfy down bedding .. 

[STLbf]

BL, those numbered labels are very helpful to ID eggs amongst all the feathers.

Couple more pics at about the same time this morning.

[STLbf]

MG rolled the eggs about 11:15 this morning.  She does so quickly and doesn't stand all the way up, so only some of the eggs are visible this time.

Happy Easter to Everybirdie

At sunrise, MG and her mate were honking loudly. She covered the eggs with feathers and left to join him for a short time.
She also rolled the eggs at about the same time, and all 6 were visible for just a second or two.
