Goose Builds Nest on High Island Tree
A pair of geese spent April surveying the surrounding area and chose a wooded island for their home. They built a nest in the tallest tree, 40 feet high, lining it with soft downy feathers. The goose then sat upon the nest as a throne while a lookout watched from willows below.
Goslings Hatch Slowly in June Nest
The account notes four yellow beaked goslings breaking shells in mid June while a fifth pipped later and remained weak. The scene captures a fragile hatch with the remaining gosling needing care.
Goose Pack Pushes Goslings from Nest in Comical Flight
Soon after this came time to leave the nest. The goose gently lifted each gosling out of the nest and four spread tiny wings and landed with a bump. They shook their heads and waddled to the waiting gand er below. The fifth gosling, weakling, dropped to the ground and died, the first in the family to lose its life.

A mother goose leads her three goslings and a protective gander as they navigate a river. A gosling is swept away by a swift current and killed by a pike, marking the first casualty. Another gosling dies in the same sequence, while a cat tries to attack. The gander defends the family, breaking the cat’s back with a winged strike.
