Goslings consider the biggest leap of their lives

May 13, 2014
Great video from the Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge Eagle Cam!

The Eagle Cam video camera was installed to observe nesting bald eagles at the Refuge last year. Unfortunately, the eggs in last year's eagle's nest failed to hatch.

This year, a pair of Canadian geese selected that same nest to raise their brood. The Refuge's Eagle Cam captured this great video of the recent day when those baby goslings leave the nest.

Click on the link below to see Mom Goose and Dad Goose take off in flight, then Boundary County's little fluffy goslings nervously ponder that gigantic leap from the nest to follow their parents.

The video lasts about two minutes. Here is the link:
