Family Security System

Geese are very protective of their young. Even though I was up a bank a little ways from the water, these adult geese got into a defensive mode while keeping their young goslings between them. Nice to see parents looking after their children so well.
Well, there is always one kid in the bunch that is more difficult to look after :)

A familiar scene at my golf course. Love the symetry of the parents necks. Linda S

Been attacked by one this time of year. Indeed they are protective.

This is just precious, Vern, and very well captured! V.

Great story to go along with the photo. The little guy in the shadows may jus be more a quarterback type as opposed to being on the line.
J Ponces01-May-2015 06:07
A beautiful posing and light! V
