It's a scene right out of a Disney movie, mother goose has lost her lifelong mate and is now left alone to create and tend to her nest. She spends the day sheltering her eggs from the cold spring air inside an empty cemetery urn she has chosen as home.
The loss of her male partner and guardian now makes her vulnerable to any would-be predators that choose to approach the nest. But, in an unlikely twist of fate, an adult deer has befriended the mother goose, taking over the role of protector.
