Decorah Goose Cam~The Jump Has Happened-One Chick on the Ground With Parents _4/23/24

Update**The goose cam went down before the last two chicks jumped. At this time I haven't heard any news as to if they made it to the parents. The last word is one goose has been see on the ground with the parents as shown in this video. **
Mother Goose decided it was time today. She left the nest and the (assume) older chick followed her and promptly jumped to the ground where Mom and Dad were waiting. The family is waiting by the creek for the other two goslings. They do not want to jump. The parents are calling and waiting. I truly expected them to jump tomorrow. One thing I have learned about wildlife is never make any assumptions. They will prove your wrong every time😂 Thanks for watching!

**Four eggs were laid. There was a scuffle on the nest on April 1 when an intruder goose came into the nest and laid an egg. The resident goose pair attempted to defend their nest rights which went on for several minutes. The goose laid an egg and eventually flew off the nest. In the scuffle one of the original goose eggs got pushed to the side of the nest and eventually accidentally knocked off the nest. There were three original eggs and one intruder egg in this clutch. Only three of the eggs are due to hatch. But it will be interesting to see if it does hatch. If you missed that video click the link below.

The 2 chicks did not see Ma flying away 🙈 poor babies. I guess the strong wind was not in their favor either ...😢

Does anyone know what happened with the 2nd and 3rd goslings that did not make the jump? I notice the live cam is only playing recaps. So what up? Did all 3 chicks make it safely to Mom and Dad?

Did they die in nest? 😢

That's sad. It sounds like they may have become prey.
