Geese

The geese figured they had the right of way,

 and I could turn around and go home.

 Do you see the little one, not fledged yet, hiding behind his mother?

Goslings

The goslings are growing.

 I have even managed to get a photo of all three families.

 

Watery Wednesday

I tried going to the pond without the dogs, to see if the parents would let me get closer to the goslings.

 Very briefly, but they were afraid I had the dogs in my pockets, and headed for the safety of the water again.

 You can see that the smallest family is also the youngest, still yellow where their cousins are graying with age.

Goslings

There are definitely three goose families at the pond.

 The parents put their heads down to threaten us if we get too close to their babies.

 

Geese

This pair of geese only have the three goslings.
