A Cold Sad Day

I noticed late last evening that Mother Goose had abandoned her nest. 
I guess she read the weather report that it was going to get below freezing. 
I don't know anything about how an egg should look when hatched, 
but I don't think the prognosis is good ... 


... at least 4, maybe 5 eggs and only one is still intact but no doubt frozen.

I wonder if she will try again when it gets warmer.

  1. it is possible a small animal got the egg - I wouldn't think the goose would abandon the eggs

  3. Oh no, that is a sad sight! Any sign of a new nest or batch of eggs anywhere?
