Visited GSD briefly to view the reported Canada Goose nest. Indeed there was a Canada Goose sitting on a nest constructed in the crossway between two ponds - on the rocks and surrounded by a heavy chain. The male was sitting not far from the nest.

A third Canada Goose was preening at the edge of the south pond.
