Gosling Kerfuffle

[yourlibrarian]

Some baby geese were born nearby and I spotted them around our lake.



But I also managed to catch two of them starting a squabble.







Mama or Papa was definitely not getting involved.



Nor were the other siblings who were only looking for snacks.

Precious! I grew up outside of their breeding range so I only ever saw adults, so when I moved north it was a delight to see the babies for the first time.

I spotted these babies again (looking rather less adorable) yesterday and was reminded to post these. The ball of fluff stage is really precious.

Aww, what a bunch of cuties! Festy cuties ;-D

[yourlibrarian]

Haha, yes.

So fuzzy and cute!

[yourlibrarian]

They are!

Heee, fluffy adorableness. It's cute when they squabble at this age. (Not so much later on, I guess...)

[yourlibrarian]

True!

Goslings have their own wrath...for one another, apparently.

[yourlibrarian]

They sure don't lose the temperament though!

Oh, what a great age for goslings!

My family had a pair of domestic geese that we raised from goslings, and they liked to gently preen my dad's eyebrows at about that age, and snuggle under his beard.

Lovely pictures, thank you!

Aw, sounds like they had a great relationship with him 🙂
