Saw my first sighting of goslings today. Can't believe with the weather we've been having that they actually sat on a nest and got them to hatch out. 4 in all.. They should be able to have another hatch I would think

Yep ! I saw a bunch of little yellow puff balls yesterday. They couldn’t have been more than a couple days old....Quote:

I guess that cold snap was just too much and could even explain why the newcomers only had two eggs survive. Still time for a second attempt I'm sure.
i think this cold weather we have been having is impacting the numbers. Hope they have a second and maybe a third hatch. I have seen 2 separate duck hatches in a near by creek, 1 had only 4 ducklings and the other only 1. Normally I see about 8 to 10 in each group.
Hi, oh the little goslings are adorable)))) Congratulations on the brood!))
