  • From RRP: "The goslings at N1 jumped this morning between 8:02 and 8:04 AM CDT. Five of the six made it, but one did not. MG and PG have herded their five surviving offspring downstream to deeper, more sheltered water. Perhaps we'll see them from the N2B cam, where goslings should start hatch on or around April 20. It took just a few hours for another goose to come in and lay an egg at N1, so don't be surprised if you see more geese, eggs, and goslings in this nest. The goslings at N2B should hatch on or around April 20."
    Today was the day for the Decorah goslings to take that leap of faith and jump off the nest to the ground! Dad was on the ground calling and Mom is on the edge of the nest as she is getting ready to join him. She flies down and the goslings are watching Mom and one by one they crawl to the edge of the nest and jump! Five goslings went one right after one another, a sixth one hesitated and did not jump with them. This gosling goes from back & forth from different sides of the nest deciding which way to jump. The sixth gosling finally jumps off the nest to the left.
    The cam pans and finds four goslings on the ground with Mom & Dad and soon a fifth one comes into view. The parents wait for the other gosling but it does not join them so they all start their trek towards the water. The goslings begin feeding on the vegetation almost immediately as they follow Mom and Dad and swim off out and out of view. The last gosling to make the jump did not make it.
    I am saddened by the loss of the gosling that did not make it but am rejoicing to see that other five goslings have survived and are now beginning their lives with Mom & Dad. It is equally amazing that shortly after the goslings jumped that a new goose claimed the nest and the female already laid an egg in it! Wow they do not miss a beat! Thank you all for watching!

    Eagles build their nests to keep their chicks IN. These newly-hatched goslings have to climb over those sticks and jump. I suspect the gosling that did not make it was the one hatched yesterday. Poor little one running back and forth trying to find the easiest way out 💔

    So do we have any way to know if the one that didn’t make it was also the last one to hatch? It was heartbreaking to see it panic and get left behind. That probably would have been me looking over the edge and thinking I don’t think so. R.I.P. little one and good luck to the other five. Really amazing to witness that leap knowing how high that nest is!!

    They just hatched. Is this normal for them to jump so soon? Very sad that one didn't make it safely.

    • @ladyhawk
      @ladyhawk  2 месяца назад +5

      Hello tochashona yes this is how it is done! The parents do not feed the goslings, they have to get to water and the ground to start to forage on vegetation. The goslings will always jump anywhere from 24-48 hours after hatching if they are hatched in a nest above the ground like this. Some geese will have nests on the ground hidden in bushes as well. Where I live, the Canadian geese all lay their eggs on the ground so I don't get to see this amazing jumping taking place! ♥
