We'll be keeping a close eye all summer on this family living on our Lake Superior beach. The goslings look to be about ten to 14 days old and are already being taken for outings 200 yards out on the lake. Geese are so populous up here that they're humdrum subjects for photography, but it will be fun to watch the youngsters grow.

Akas, on May 23 only one gosling was left. We have no idea what happened to the others, but nature is red in tooth and claw . . .
