February 13, 2025

I am a female Egyptian Goose on my nest
My mate is never around
I think it because I built my nest in a tree
And he's looking for me on the ground. 

(Egyptian Geese usually nest on the ground, but occasionally nest high in trees. This was the first nest David and I have ever seen in a tree. But I must say it looked really comfy amongst the ferns.)

Location: Vero Beach Country Club
