These geese (lesser Canadian) nested somewhere around one of our ponds and have been busy raising three goslings (Huey, Duey, and Louie). When in the water the adults take point and drag with the brood in-line between. They have progressed from small balls of fuzz to copies of their parents as we watch. They are getting adult coloration now but still are clearly smaller.

Oh, the eagle? The canoe is a Grumman brand, "Eagle" model. 17 ft, all aluminum, survivor of several white water expeditions and thousand of miles inverted atop a pickup camper.
