The passing of a goose

Yesterday I found the mama goose dead behind the old coop. She looked like if she just walked back there to hide and then slipped into death. She didn't thrash just layed down and died. =(

She left a full nest of eggs that she had been sitting on. I don't want to disturb them, but if her daughter sits on them then they should be fine. If not, then we lost all the goslings. Tough call and it doesn't seem as if I'll be able to end up with a good outcome. We'll just see how things go.

I know that the male and the young female are breeding and that she started a nest, but I'm not sure how that is going. We'll just have to see how things go.
