This pair of Canadian Geese decided to nest at the N2B nest in the spring of 2022, 2023, 2024 and again this year(2025). The two nests are about 700ft apart.
Mama goose will begin incubation once she is done laying eggs(should be around 5 to 7 total).
Incubation lasts about 28 days before we see a hatch. The goslings will remain in the nest for up to 48 hours before jumping out. If you don’t see any eggs it’s because she covers them up when away from the nest.
This camera was Set up and is maintained by the Raptor Resource Project, a non-profit organization for the preservation of falcons, eagles, ospreys, hawks, and owls.
