The actual period of incubation of goose eggs varies slightly with the breed. Some eggs from the lighter breeds may start pipping after 28 days, while eggs from the larger breeds may take 35 days. It may take up to 3 days for hatching to be completed.

2. Yes, darned geese took over osprey nest 2? years ago;

I haven;t even seen osprey on other nearby 'perches' this season.

3. Ah, bummer. Your osprey were stunning!

And, it was so neat the way they would return each year on nearly the same day.
