Perhaps it works better in a semi-colonial ground nesting situation where goslings can hatch, scurry a short distance to the water, and join a creche.You are about to enter a website that contains explicit material (pornography).

I’m fascinated by this behavior in the Decorah nest, since goslings that hatched after parents and young left would most likely die. It’s been a lengthy four weeks, but she shouldn’t have to wait for hatch much longer. Although these geese aren’t a direct threat to her eggs – they won’t eat them or deliberately destroy them – nesting geese are highly territorial and MG’s excellent nest defense helps assure that all of her hatchlings are hers. Why are so many geese attempting to enter the nest? Geese lay eggs in nests other than their own, so we might be seeing attempts at nest parasitism. She lunges forward and bites it before chasing it out of the nest. At 14 seconds, another goose tries to enter the nest. As several of you have reminded me and Mother Goose has repeatedly shown us, geese are nothing to mess with! She’s clearly alarmed and tracking something at the beginning of the video. HD is not interested in sharing! Decorah GeeseĪpril 20, 2023: Mother Goose deals with intruder –. Instead of stepping aside, he erects his own feathers and mantles over the mouse, pecking at her as she tries to move in. We were happy when the rain finally let up and even happier to see him dry off later on.Īpril 19, 2023: Maybe a rodent is too small to share? HM wants HD’s rodent, but he doesn’t want to share.ĭo eagles eat mice? They do! HM flies in with a lovely stick at 13 seconds and begins moving it around, poking HD in the head! She quickly notices his mouse and expresses interest, wheedling, pleaing, and erecting her feathers to make her interest clear. That energy needs to be quickly replenished, which might be why HD sucked down a big gulp protein smoothie – aka a trout – so quickly this afternoon. Why was he shivering? Shivering twitches or shakes large muscles very rapidly – a high-intensity action that converts muscular energy into heat. His wings are glossy with the rain and he appears to be shivering or trembling, but he holds fast and keeps his eaglet safe.Įagles have roughly 7,000 feathers to keep them warm and dry, but HD was soaked through to the skin. Watch the whole video or go to 21 minutes. HD spreads his wings wide and covers the floor of the nest, doing his best to keep DH2 dry.

A cold rain is slashing down and soaking everything. This video shows how hard eagle parents work to protect their young. Īpril 20, 2023: Where are the wet wipes? HD gets a beakful of poop!Īfter a long and difficult morning of brooding, DH2 honors HD with a PS! Where did I put those wet wipes? At least it’s not slashing cold rain or hail.Īpril 20, 2023: A Dad’s Devotion –. HM gives a few screes but doesn’t appear especially interested in the fish, so HD eagles it down himself! After this morning, I think he deserves it!Īpril 20, 2023: When you gotta go, you gotta go, but HD takes it in stride!.

He flies in over HM and appears to hover, a fish firmly grasped in his talons, before getting a toe-hold on the Y-branch and launching down into the nest. Slow the feed down at six seconds to see HD’s spectacular wind-complicated landing. The tree is rocking and rolling in the wind. Eagles are incredible! Decorah EaglesĪpril 20, 2023: HD spectacular wind-complicated landing, beautiful fly-off from Y –. I am in awe as our eagles once again show us what they will endure to protect their offspring. His rain-soaked feathers were glossy and slicked with water but – like another wonderful eagle Dad who nested here – he continued his watch. Rain and hail made it a long morning for HD, who spent most of it protecting DH2 from the weather.
