Thank you ALL for such nice comments!
Shelly, these are not my geese, but ones I came upon at Forest Lawn Cemetary, in Buffalo, NY. Spotted Mom on her eggs, and returned a few days later and found the little ones. Was such a beautiful experience for me to witness and capture.
Wishing everyone a blessed Mothers' Day!
