     Most definitely–so fluffy and inquisitive.

   This is another great photo! Except for the time I got too close to the goslings while riding my bike on a narrow bike trail, I tend to like geese. I guess they can be a nuisance, but I think humans can be a nuisance too.

     Thanks. Some of the folks at the marsh I visit often complain about the overabundance of geese and the fact they crowd out other birds. I tend to like them and enjoy photographing them in the water and in the air.

   Fantastic photos, Michael. The resulting pass-off of the tender grass shoot is truly exceptional.

   Very cute, and very newly hatched, it appears. Hard to believe it’s duckling season in your area already. We just got rid of the lake ice, so I suppose the geese will be laying eggs very soon.

   So cute! The only thing cuter would be a duckling.
