The little gosling in the foreground of the 4th photo was likely the last one hatched, but their growth rate is so fast that it'll catch up to its nest mates in short order.
I love watching them. Thanks for the pix!

(21,134 posts)Those goslings are sooooo cute, but it's usually hard to get a good look at them "in the wild," because the parents are so aggressively protective. These are just beautiful. I'm going to share them with my daughter, another water bird lover!
