Last night after them temp cooled off a bit, I grabbed my camera and headed over to the area were I had previously photographed the goslings. I was exactly 4 weeks ago I first came across this family. To my surprise they had the same number of little ones running around and feeding. I will keep me eye on this family so I can watch their feathers develop and eventually leave that location.

Here is part two of my trip to the local pond where I found three sets of goslings roaming around. I still plan to head back there ASAP before the fly away, but weather and my job has ruined those plans so far.

I took this photo just a few minutes after I took the "Baby Goose" photo that I shared yesterday. There is a resident Killdeer pair in a field close to home that is accessible by vehicle. I'm interested in following them as they nest for the spring and summer months. As I was watching the pair a Coopers Hawk swooped at them halfheartedly.
