Goose and goslings

sitting still on the warm sand....

Already down to just three goslings... and they are only a few days old...

After a few wet tries at getting a drink... this one finally just sat down and waited for the waves to come in closer!

This one was so tiny that even small twigs were huge hurdles on the trip to the water's edge...

This one wandered away from the brood... he won't be around for long!

... about to be rolled by that incoming wave.... ;-)

even the tiniest ripples are enough to tumble these tiny goslings... just a few days old...

tiny as they are, they are already working in watchful teams...

This this brave mother ( or maybe inexperienced?!) had selected a busy parking lot median in Devonshire Mall for her nest site... Shoppers were getting *warned* away by her mate!
