Marigold, If only there would of been snow on the ground. You could of thrown a couple of snowballs at him for good measure. You would think they would let the baby geese mature & they would be out of there someplace else looking for food. Why wait till after they hatch? They could of run the parents off before that. I found a nest by the beaver dam last week that had been raided by coyotes, or raccoons? It is surprising with all the predators how any baby geese survive?
