Artist's Comments

this is an update to the unusually large family pictured here [link] . . . . i had thought the number of goslings had been reduced from 16 down to 13, but in this photo, there are still 14

most nests have seven eggs, or less, so i believe either one or two sets of parents were killed by predators, or they simply abandoned their eggs/young . . . the two adults taking care of this large group seem very comfortable with their expanded family, which shows there is always enough :love: to go around :)



a big "thank you" for adding my photos to your favorites or collections . . . i will reply to comments, but i am no longer able to acknowledge every :+fav: . . . thanks so much for your support and understanding :hug:

they really do . . . probably not many more group photos ahead . . . you know how hard it is to get them all together as they become teenagers :D :blowkiss: :heart:
