Description
Mom and Dad kept watch while the babies ate . . . and wandered. This family of Canada geese included two adults - the gander and goose - and their five goslings, one of which had moved out of the frame at the moment I took this photo. They had all just come out of the lake to dry off, probably only to return to the water and get wet again.
Geese are waterfowl in the family Anatidae; Canada geese are in the genera Branta or black geese. They are often erroneously referred to as Canadian geese; however, although common in Canada, they are not nationals. The “Canada” in their name comes from the Latin for the species, Branta canadensis, and these birds are found around the world.
