It was super seeing these sweet goslings.
Darling little babes.
New parents being very protective of their young. No humans got too close but other geese did.
Who is that?
Interlopers?
This cacophony continues for some time. Eventually the goose on the right flew down and chased said interloper off.
Interloper argy-bargy. On your bike and don’t come back!
Life in the garden...
takes on a more peaceful tone.
Goslings go about what goslings do, with not a care in the world.
But then this one chases off another interloper!
The interloper wisely left.
A lot of territories and babies being protected today, and the protector keeps a wary eye on his babies and their surroundings.
I have my own protector who advises me not to get too close. No problem, the camera does its job!
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day.
I have been snapping these babies & parents, too! But have not gotten NEAR as good pictures as you did. Funny how they make their necks crooked and run after us. Good thing we have zooms so we don't stress them out too much!
ReplyDeleteYes, thank goodness for zooms. They are a lot of fun to watch aren’t they? :) Thank you Ginny!
DeleteAwww.
ReplyDeleteYour live traffic feed continues to insist I live in another State - 1000 miles away.
Goodness! That’s not very good at all is it :)
DeleteSo cute! They are really good parents.
ReplyDeleteThey certainly are! Thank you Linda :)
DeleteThey are just ever so cute and beautiful - thanks for sharing them with us.
ReplyDeleteThanks you Margaret, happy you enjoyed them :)
DeleteI want to snuggle one of those goslings. so beautiful, so sweet and all of these photos rate A plus and A for awesome, also A for amazing.. i love the butt shot
ReplyDeleteThanks for those sweet comments Sandra :) Wouldn’t it be lovely to snuggle them? But I kept my distance and I am grateful for my zoom lens.
DeleteThey're very good parents.
ReplyDeleteI agree, thanks William :)
DeleteAnd your live tracker indicates I am in Toronto, which is a five hour drive away.
ReplyDeleteWow! Thanks for letting me know. I love the geography aspect but definitely not the accuracy. I wonder if I can just set it to show the country? I will look into that for sure.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteCute shots of the goose family. The goslings are adorable, so sweet!
Take care, have a happy day!
Hello Eileen, thank you so much and I wish you the same :)

Muito obrigado :) Um abraço e uma boa semana contínua para vocês também.
DeleteLovely springtime shots.
ReplyDeleteThank you Christine :)
DeleteThose goslings are the cutest!
ReplyDeleteAren’t they though? Thank you Ellen :)
DeleteCanada geese are fierce protectors. You want to keep your distance when they have little ones.
ReplyDeleteThanks Red, they are indeed :) I appreciate the good advice and keep my distance while using my zoom. Other geese did get too close and they were charged at several times. It was a very interesting study in geese behavior.
DeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you Anne :)
DeleteGreat photos Denise. I just love seeing all the babies, so cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you Martha, me too :)
DeleteFabulous photographs, I enjoyed them all.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
That's great Jan, so glad :) All the best to you too.
DeleteI love all the fluffy little ones in spring
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol, me too :)
DeleteThanks Linda, I will ask Gregg to show me tomorrow. I am looking forward to them already :)
ReplyDeleteThe geese are very protective of their young. On one of the main thoroughfares here in Tulsa some of the geese take their goslings across a major street. Many times some of the homeless population gets out in the street to safeguard the crossing. I love it.
ReplyDeleteThat sure is a heartwarming story Yogi. Thank you for sharing that :)
DeleteThese are so sweet, Denise. A bit smaller than the ones I saw today (and when it comes to goslings, smaller is cuter!). Don't you love to watch them learn, eat, swim, follow? I adore each and every photo!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeanie, and yes I do :) so much fun to watch. I hope I get to see more soon.
