Although a proliferation of briers, poison ivy and 88' temperature has essentially closed this area for visitation, the "house puppy" and I sought answers: First, the fate of the goose egg I previously noted. ? Nature had its way with that, as pieces of shell were scattered around where the egg originally lay. From appearances, something had pulled it over to remains of a tree stump, cracked and devoured the contents. There was no sign of the Canada geese, although they seem to have only stopped in at this "love nest" for a change of venue. I saw the pair flying North yesterday afternoon, and perhaps that's why I made such a foolish trek. I suspect that a grey fox is the perpetrator, as it has been a familiar face in our area. Secondly, I wanted to try another camera, which will probably display at the opening screen of this image. My 4100 pretty much consistently turns out decent images at 500 Kbytes or less... this one was originally 5.22 Mbytes, and I clipped it to 326 Kbytes. My vision isn't all that wonderful, but I really can't see a difference between the original image and my clipped/posted ( snipping tool / Windows 10).
