Fluffy Has Three Mommies

[dreamshark]

Or possibly three daddies. Who can tell with geese? In any case, one of the little families of fuzzy dinosaur-shaped goslings has three adults taking care of them. Other goose familes in the area are more conventional.

This has been a work-break bike ride report.

I wonder if the third could be a child from the previous season? I've observed how closely geese families stick together, if one child failed to mate for some reason it might have stuck around with its parents.
