did you see it?
« on: April 07, 2011, 09:57:43 am »
When I got up this am.  my husband on the computer, as usual, shows me the news. I hate it when he does that, just because it's always something bad.  Today he shows me a picture of a deer.  Yeh, so?  Well this deer descides to  protect a Canadian goose while she sits on her eggs.  Geese mate for life.  The mate had been killed.  The deer took on the role as protector of this soon to be family of geese.  It fought of a barking dog, won't let the press near the goose and it's eggs.  Very sweet story to wake up too.  I think my husband was on CNN so I am going to see if I can find the story.  Have a good day.

my fiance likes to do the same thing
with the news!  ::) he's always up on current
world events (which are mostly depressing)
and always wants to share them with ME,
who'd rather NOT hear about all the suffering...

but i'm glad this time, it wasn't like that for you!
that's really sweet  :)

Thanks for sharing this story.

I have been following the eagle nest in Decorah, Iowa.  There is a live video stream of the nest.  the third egg hatched 4-6-11.

Here is the link to the live feed:  http://www.ustream.tv/decoraheagles

If you want to just watch the closeups of the 3rd egg hatching, go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-1jrdggzfc

Oh, that is such a sweet story & I'm so glad you shared it with us. 
Here's a goose we met last year who's still here with his broken wing.  The other geese won't have anything to do with him :(

Awwww, the wonders of nature. What an amazing story. Some people think animals aren't worth anything and that they are dumb. This proves otherwise.
