I had to be careful and make sure that Mom and Dad were the first to return to the nest. Ravens were everywhere waiting for an opportunity. This guy was a few miles away and eating a goose egg.

At sunset, the moon came up. This calm didn't last through the night.
Right at the Lower Granite dam is a launch and dock. It appeared to be a lonely place and not one where I would want to leave my trailer, although a thief would have a 40 mile drive from anywhere to pilfer through my car.
They don't all make it.

The sixth had "run away" about a foot, tripped on a twig, and laid still while I took his picture. Mom and Dad were close by and a little irritated.
I returned the next day about noon and found these guys. No shells around and they are all dry and fuzzy. But only five.
The next nest I found because I could hear the goslings peeping. But it looks like I'm a day too early. Each of them had a hole started, but they hadn't pecked through yet.
