It will be hard to see her but half way up this tree in the crotch of the 2 branches there is a Canada Goose sitting on a nest of little ones. She is well hidden and her partner is standing guard near the tree! I've never seen one nesting in a tree before.

Nice observation and a photo, Pat!
I am also reminded of the movie with Cary Grant in it, with a similar title - Father Goose :)
It is quite a fun movie from the VHS days.
Have a Happy Day!!
Peace :)
Now that is really different!
What a find! That's a very clever goose!
Viewing the photo on a tablet, I will have to take your word for it. Old trees with hollows are so important to wildlife.
I've never seen anything like that before, either. I guess we just have to chalk it up to the superior brain power of Canadian geese! :)
Well that is a first for me.
Well I'll BE!
I see her there Pat.. well spotted :)
I'm just a little amazed by that trunk.
Hiding, I'll say.
She's well hidden up there blending in with the color of the tree. She must feel safe there.
I can see her too.
oh, that's precious! love it! and love that you caught the mallard pair strolling by, too!
I don't think I'd have noticed!
A good eye on your part, and great camouflage by the goose.
Well spotted. What a clever girl, probably quite a safe place and with hubby watching over her too.
Oh wow, what a cool spot for a nest. It does seem safe. Cute goose and duckies. Great photo! Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!
Those ducklings will have a giant first step to leave the nest. Hope they will be alright.
Oh wow! I definitely would have missed that. She certainly found an unusual spot for her nest.
Great eye!
That is just a perfect capture!
Good home, has been sought, Pat ;)
You have sharp eyes. I wouldn't have noticed that.
