LD!

2008.05.01
No longer nesting! LD has left the nest!

The EMPTY nest! Can you feel the anticipation building? Keep scrolling ... her little bundles of joy are coming up!

Everyone together now ... "Aaaahhhhhhh!"


You guys back there?!


This looks like a fun game. Let's crawl under mom!

That WAS a fun game!

The family (I think!)

They're here! After weeks of wondering and waiting, the anticipation is finally over. The little goslings of Lil Darlin' (so nicknamed LD by focussed!) have arrived! I am somewhat bummed as to have skipped visiting her the past couple of days (perhaps I could have captured their hatching!), but none the less, these are just a couple of days old!

I'm like a proud papa! I'm so deranged, my buddy began calling me "Father Goose"! =)

Heidi and I have decided to make another trip to the park this evening, as the sun is setting, in hopes of getting shots of them nuzzled under her wing. I'm sure I've built the vision of the shot up in my mind so much that I'll never be able to achieve it, but you can't get, if you don't try!

* Update * - I went back to check on LD and her little one's this evening and I met another person who was as equally interested in her as I was. Evidently, I did hit it right, and yesterday she was still nesting! I just wasn't able to get 'The Shot!' =)
