Goslings!

[yourlibrarian]

We have seen two different batches of baby geese in the past few weeks. One of them is getting so big they'll be popping out adult feathers soon. Here's a recap.




Spotted the geese out strolling down our sidewalk. Mom decided to take a dip but the babies were clearly unsure about this. They had already grown since we first saw them!





With none of the babies apparently willing to take the leap, Momma came back out of the water.





With Mom back out of the water, everyone returns to snacking.



A week or so later we saw the second batch of goslings!

I can almost hear them cheeping!

Your second photo is calendar-worthy.

Excellent pics of goslings. Those are hard to get - without fear of being attacked by the Mama Goose.

Awwww, so many adorable fluff balls!! I just love the photos of them looking suspiciously at the wet stuff their mum is floating on.

Fuzzy babies! Love them, and good pictures with good zoom, I'm guessing, since a grown-up goose was present?

Oh, I especially love that second photo!

So fun to see the little fuzzballs growing. :)
