[TN-Bird] Radnor Lake Canada Goose Nest

Sunday, April 23, 2006
Radnor Lake State Natural Area
Nashville, TN
Davidson County

We took a walk at Radnor Lake on Sunday morning and were greeted by a 
Canada goose incubating her eggs.  The nest site is by the dam and right 
under the bridge.  It is on a small islandish structure surrounded by 
two streams from dam overflow.  After several minutes of observation, we 
got a quick peek at the eggs, there is several white eggs.  I am not 
much familiar with the parental care in Canada geese, but did not see 
the male during the time we were there.

We are looking forward to the hatching of goslings.
