Goslings and Ducklings


It's family time on our neighborhood lake! Geese and ducks are raising little ones.

Picture #1 shows a goose and gosling. I spotted them from our house and zoomed in. The next photo shows a "stop the car" moment. Often when I drive around the lake I see geese and ducks, but babies are a reason to stop and take a picture! Same thing for the next picture, which I took the next day. Daddy Mallard was just out of the frame, keeping an eye on the kids.



The family of Canada Geese showed up in our yard yesterday. They had gone away after the swan decoys were placed in the lake, but now they're back. The little ones have grown into big kids since I saw them before.
