Well, that took me down a couple of rabbit holes 😀

This one is especially for Tas - she lubs Canadian Geese.

This Canadian Goose has laid 6 eggs in a Bald Eagles nest, high in a tree,  in Decorah, Iowa.

The eagle mum has seen the eggs and is not impressed - but left them alone.

Thanks for posting that video Stawks, it's just beautiful.  I've downloaded the link and will look forward to seeing the eggs hatch.  Hope they will be okay though, it's an unusually high place or them.
