A couple of days ago, my husband M was driving by a construction sight and wondered what all the commotion was about. A bulldozer was trying to move into the digging site, but geese are nesting by the side of the road. They have filled in a pond where they used to nest every year so they don't have anywhere else to go. The bulldozers didn't know what was going on, having arrived early that morning to do their jobs. Well the male geese were flapping their wings wildly trying to protect their nests, unaware that this is no longer a safe place for them. Finally the drivers figured out the problem and moved their job further down the road. Whew! For now. I was almost in tears just listening to M's story.
Actually, I haven't seen any bulldozers in that area for the past couple of days. Hmm.

That's really too bad that the pond was filled up and the geese had nowhere better to go. I hope this story has a happy ending in the future.
Those geese were strong and show us what it is to care for a family! Valerie
Glad that the driver finally realized that there were ducks near the site! Whew, that was a relief! :)
I hope not, I hope the bulldozers keep moving far far away, and wait for all the eggs to hatch. I also hate to think what will happen next year for them. That's sad!
its so sad isn't it, and amazing how protective those birds are, standing up to tons of machinery!
I really hope they are left to be and not disturbed. Poor things :/
that's so sad
Canada geese are very protective of their nests. Glad the commotion made the bulldozers move on.
Hopefully those bulldozers won't come back!
