Wet Nests

These geese must be new at nests. Side by side they sat in the middle of the bog at Indiana Dunes with barely an inch above the water line. This weekend's snow will surely wash out the nests and hopefully they'll learn to do better next time.

I've seen Swans do the same thing---with a  drowned out nest or two but eventually come back and have a successful nest with as much as seven signets.
