From Raptor Resource Project on March 22nd:
The Canada Geese are back! Mother Goose laid her first egg of 2023 in N2B this morning at 9:36 AM. Are these the same geese? We don't know but - like peregrine falcons and many other birds - Canada Geese often return to the same nest year after year. If Mother Goose follows the same laying pattern we saw last year, we could see another egg tomorrow! This nest is located about 700 feet east of HD and HM's nest, so we might hear the eagles from the goose nest, or the geese from the eagles' nest.
I was quite startled when I checked out the nest last year and didn't see any eggs after Mother Goose laid her first egg. Where did it go? Mama will periodically leave the nest to eat. When she does, she'll hide her eggs under sticks, down, and decomposed nest material! Look for five or six more. Last year, full incubation began after the fourth egg.
