The same momma goose as before~she has 5 eggs in that nest. I was with a park ranger and he was checking all the nests to keep track of the goose population. She actually stands up for him~but he said he has been bitten by the males many times~ouch! Speaking of the males,they are very aggressive right now~flying around and hissing at everyone. Guess they have to be protective~the park ranger said some of the nests had been raided by other animals. Will be waiting for the goslings~he said it's about 40 days gestation.

Quick....grab those eggs. I haven't had breakfast yet. LOL. Excellent shot of that goose. Looks like it is about to attack anyone that comes near the nest. Good work, Ami.

This is a good as the other one Ami, I love the natural take in the capture. I would not like to get close to this gooses nest as those wings could cause some damage!
Beautiful!

You are right Ami - she may stand up but she is wary. Nice image of the female goose with good clarity!

Great shot and she is definitely "wary" of you. I suspect she was hissing as well Ami. Excellent information as well.
