Deer Stands Guard Over Nesting Goose

In a picture straight out of a Disney movie, a buck (with shedded antlers) has been standing guard over a nesting female goose. Any time a person tries to approach the goose, the deer stands broadside between the approaching person and the nest and stares intently until the person is gone. In one instance, the deer even took a protective stance against a barking dog near the area of the urn where the goose is nesting. This has been going on for several days.

Employees of the cemetery were first alerted when one of the employees of a company that traps and relocates geese was unable to approach the goose due to the deer blocking his path.

It will be interesting to see how this ends.
