SIMRAN RAJPAL
These nests are made of a scrape that is typically lined with little materials such as stones, grass, or feathers. They construct their nests on dike faces or islands.
Even though they are officially considered shorebirds, it is common to find these birds breeding in gravel far from any natural bodies of water.
They are located at the foot of taller plants, such as bulrush or needlerush. Here, the ground is typically extremely wet, with water reaching a depth of up to one inch.
This species nests in small bogs, marshes, wet meadows, and other secluded, moist environments, particularly those with standing water.
Canada Geese use grass, lichens, moss, and other plant materials to construct their cup nests. They can observe their surroundings well and are found close to water.
Grasslands and pastures with thick grasses or shrubs are their preferred nesting locations.
They use the fallen leaves to fashion a basic hollowed-out bowl. They will gather leaves and twigs from the surrounding area to line their nest.
