That's adorable....nothing beats a fuzzy baby duck in the cute category. Great capture.

Great shot.

Nice shot. It's a Canada Goose isn't it? I recognize that attitude. :)

Yes it is- there were about six of them running around the Rhododendron Garden. This was the only one who ever sat down- I got 3 shots and off he went again!

Nice, very nice photo. How far away were the parents? Didn't they get upset about your presence? In my experience they get rather nervous with two-legged creatures getting too close to their young'uns

Great shot, very cute. That reminds me I need to look for my local Canada Geese families and see if they've been productive. Thanks.

You would think so, but this is in a city park where probbaly hundreds of people a day go thru. At one time I was kneeling down on a sidewalk and one of the babies walked by my right side within about 6ft. I didn't move becuase it was too dim to get a shot there anyway. As that gosling got near me, one of the parents quickly walked over IN BETWEEN me and the young'n. He/she was very calm - I said " don't worry Mom, I'm just looking" she just walked by as a shield. Our faces were about 3ft apart and at the same height! It was way cool!

The parents both followed them around closely and there was also another big "park goose" (the name escapes me now- big waddle under chin and hump on head)who was also riding bodyguard on the youngsters! I watched him chase away a couple college girls who were trying to get cell phone pics of the babies- he was a serious protector!
