For a short period of time it seemed almost dangerous to walk the paths along the ponds in our neighborhood because of the geese…they were protecting their nests and their young.

A big, adult goose would be near the path, turn, look straight at me and hiss…

I would stop to take pictures…poor geese, they didn’t know I wasn’t going to harm their babies, but I didn’t hang around long.
There were several goose families along this pond trail so it happened more than once.

Now it’s fun to see the goose families swimming along and growing up.

How many goslings does one goose have? Looks like 14 in this family.
