Has anyone ever noticed geese doing this with the young on the water by them. I am starting to think they are looking for predators.

HAHA, great shot. I think she's just eating, but then, I do know bass and pike will snatch a small duck in a second and I doubt the parent could do much about it.

Nice shot, maybe the mother goose is trying to drown herself with the stress of looking after all them little ones. :)

Thanks for the comments, the water is about 10 ft. deep where they are right now. Both parents will do this, one then the other I know there are some big turtles and I have seen one bass that is quite big. So thats why I thought they might be just keeping a watch.

Trouble is they make a good meal for all kinds of things, I'd hate to be looking after them as a parent the stress must be unreal.

Great shots.
