Sticking close to Mother
The little ones are growing but still stick close. They like to keep on the move. These have been hanging around the road in to my Mothers house. I am not sure what I did but I was shooting Appature priority and had somehow got the ISO set to 1600, it gave me a setting of f11 shutter speed of 1/1000 and I was as usual at 600mm EQ. I was just driving by and saw them, grabbed the camera and didn't even look at the settings.I cropped just a little to get some stuff off the left side.

Hi kendall, there are alot of young ones near me also.

They are all different sizes, there are alot of adults renesting because of the earlier flooding.

Sweet shot, Kendall. We have a few Canada goslings here, as well as six wood ducklings. Problems is they're sharing the marsh with some really BIG snapping turtles. No wonder they're always in a hurry.

Nice capture Kendall. Spring is flying by, looks like those goslings are already starting to get big, and loosing their golden colors.
