Nesting Goose Cam!
Meet our newest resident at SSU - Shaina Hollander, a majestic Canada goose, currently sitting on her nest of approximately 5-6 eggs. We are keeping her exact location a secret for her protection (and yours). Shaina has been doing an incredible job! No sign of a partner/Ilya yet. Please share your love and email us at [email protected]. Special thanks to Ryan, Roger, Liz and Ian for technical help!
