(32,437 posts)I read that these Geese prefer flat sites without any barriers more than 4 inches high. At one time your nest had a circle of branches piled up high around the edge, and those branches have since disappeared. That's what makes it a perfect Goose nest now. I think this is the third year now for the Geese on this nest, if she is already sitting on eggs.
If you want to prevent geese from nesting on the rooftop, think about making changes next year to discourage them from nesting again...

More recent userpation by geese has changed things 'dramatically.',

(136,780 posts)and the wonder of watching adults feed and care for all three!!!
(My neighbors/landlord have triplet kids/humans, all out of college and out in the world now, so they're particularly aware and sensitive to those issues. VERY sad no ospreys here now.)

(32,437 posts)You still have that secondary nest in the broken-branch tree, and can still hope, even though you feel broken-hearted.
