Saturday morning we headed into work for a few hours,
and when we came home we found
and when we came home we found
We quietly snuck inside and went on-line to find out more about them. Apparently they like mowed grass (we have that), water (check), and sometimes a nesting platform out in the middle of water. So, a few hours later....

I built it 48"x50", large enough for both parents to sit on,
with a recommended 21" diameter 10" tall container
to build a nest and incubate eggs, complete with
"escape" door for any goslings.

so we have named it the "goose dock."
Needless to say, the geese have not been back since Saturday,
choosing instead to visit the field next door.
The boys spotted it immediately

We keep hearing them honk over head,
We rush to the window,...
but no return visitors yet.

I am so impressed! First, at your ingenuity, and secondly that you are caring enough to build that for the geese!
How exciting. It would be wonderful if a pair chose your property to raise a family!!
