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.

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!
