It's Spring...the renewal of life. A time for babies. The first picture shows that goslings are abundant at the lake. This was one of two families in a cove. The second picture is of a Mallard. There must be a nest nearby as this is just off a farm field. The final two pictures are of a gosling that was separated from it's mother and siblings. It cried out and kept trying to find it's mother. Separated, it tried to join another family but seemed to be rebuffed. Mom heard it's cries after a while and went to collect him with the other seven goslings in tow. It was hard to watch not know if there would be a happy ending.
