Duck, duck, goose.....

When we went out on the lake for our first ride the other day in our boat, we saw a duck and a big blended family of geese and their new family of babies (now older babies!).

First this guy was swimming pretty far away from us...I couldn't get a closer shot, he flew away!

Is it possibly a loon? He wasn't making loon calls, so I wasn't sure???:

Here is that LARGE family of geese we saw on one of the cabins' lawn:

Here they are, a little closer:

Look how big the babies have gotten!:

Still fuzzy though, aren't they?:

Here's Mom and Dad taking a little "alone time" at the edge of the lake while the teenagers were frolicking on the lawn:






Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil and Do No Evil are here on the lawn, looking for trouble. (I can just tell!):







When they finally realized I was taking their pictures, the parents gathered the family together to head down the shore. "Dang those humans!" I heard the Mother honk to her husband:

"Are we there yet?" the youngin's were asking......

We always enjoy seeing them and the many ducks we have living around the lake.

I think the next time we see them, they won't be traveling together as a family though...they will have "left the nest" and out living in apartments in the city, all on their own. (Occassionally asking Mom and Dad to send a couple of ducks. I mean bucks...................................).
