Bird Nest Destroyed 04/22/2018

Sad to report, after sitting on her nest for several weeks some mean spirited person ran Mother Goose off  her nest and removed the eggs before they could hatch. The nest is located next to a manhole cover at the edge of the Lochlomond Lake  The eggs were probably removed and thrown into the lake water. 

It has been reported that some mean spirited person living at the lake area is bent on destroying nests of the shorebirds. This is an illegal activity. If witnessed please report the culprit to the authorities: Cary Police, Animal Control. Cary is a bird sanctuary where all birds are protected from harm. It is illegal to disturb/destroy a bird's nest.

Mean spirited people include people that allow their aggressive dogs attack the shore birds which is considered Inhumane Treatment of Wildlife as the area signage indicates. If witnessed,  please "say/do something" by reporting to the above mentioned authorities. 

This is the destroyed Nest with eggs removed before hatching:
