Eleven Hours Old Canada Goslings

Lafreniere Park-Metairie, Louisiana

Yesterday's PaD showed them just breaking out of the egg after dark. This was taken at 7 a.m. (You know it's a special occasion to get me up and out this early).
There is still one egg left but I am not certain it will hatch.
We had unusually cool temperatures last night and it was 59 degrees when this was taken. Their mother was great warmth for them.
P. S. Unfortunately, when these babies were four days old a man unleashed his dog and it killed these precious little bundles.

Sorry about these precious babies - I was worried the turtles would get them, not a stupid person with a dog.
