When baby Canada geese, called goslings, emerge from their shells in springtime they have yellow feathers like baby ducklings. They follow their parents around in a goose parade for about two months until they are ready to learn to fly. By autumn, they accompany their parents on the southward migration.
That water sure looks nice and cool …. maybe I’ll go for a swim.
Guess I better wait for mom and dad to go in first ……
I’ll just hang around here on the bank and eat some grass until they get in the water and then I can follow them.

These images were taken at Burdette Park in June and July of this year during a couple of my visits to Heavensville. We always go to Burdette early in the am and sit for hours …. she reads and I shoot a gazillion photos ….. always loads of Ducks and Geese around the water.

I went off without my good camera and lens today so all I had was a little Point & Shoot in my purse! Someday I will learn not to leave the house without the “big guns”. These images are totally blown out but that is to be expected with the camera that I was using 🙁
The little ones were just adorable. 
And the geese ……

Old Blue was fishing for his lunch and stayed in the same spot for hours.
Took this shot the last time I was at Jan’s …… we made our usual numerous trips to Burdette Park.
He has his eye on a fish but he missed!
He tried several times to stab one but he was never successful. I grew tired of watching him and moved on to taking photos of all the ducks and geese.
