We've Been Goosed

The first three stayed with me for two weeks when Carol had to go to California. With a newly broken shoulder I threw myself into goosey raising.

Well...the goslings from May were returned to Carol, and today they were released from their pen to the care of the gaggle...what a hoot

I am still struggling with a broken shoulder and some of the photos were taken with my Nikon but it was pretty nervous and jerky trying to find-focus-and shoot three active little birds.

THE SAGA CONTINUES...The mother goose has hatched seven more and she stays on the nest with the pile of eggs rather than take care of the little ones...so Carol has snagged this group for a little Nursery attention...
