I'd like to add a bit more about this little gosling. I happened to arrive at the cemetery where I had been keeping an eye on the nest, just in time to see movement and a hole beginning to appear in the egg. The other goslings had already hatched the day before and this was the one remaining egg that did hatch. The other egg that you see underneath the mom was destroyed. So I stayed for the entire event, taking photos of the process from start to finish. What a great morning! Just to add one more bit of information, the mother and day old babies ended up leaving this little one behind but the story has a happy ending. The gosling was taken to the SPCA and consequently adopted and is living a happy life on a Western NY farm.

Super adorable capture and wonderful timing, Terry! Glad it worked out okay for the little one. Saw something last spring that I never saw before, two mother ducks were very competitive and were "stealing" ducklings from each other. #9201921

Terry, what a fabulous series of this event - thank you for sharing it with us! I have never witnessed a hatching or even seen goslings this little before - must have been thrilling to watch and record. So glad that the little one found a new home. A fabulous MT entry that I'm sure we'll see again! #9203095
