This happens most years...the geese lay eggs and then we get a snow. They are a hardy bunch. On warm, sunny days the females will cover the eggs and go for a swim, snack and drink. They are gone for only a short while and the eggs stay warm. But not today...and probably not for a few days. That's dad on the pond behind. He never goes far and gets cranky if anyone gets too close. (Because the nest is in the open and near walkers, I am a bit surprised she has not abandoned the nest...could still happen. I've seen several geese nest on the "mainland" over the years and not one set has hatched off. Too much foot traffic and dogs.)
