And I'm THIS Tall

And I'm THIS Tall

I was back out looking for coyotes (and coyote pups) early this morning, and again I saw not a single coyote. But I did run into the goose family again. I saw them a few days ago with only one parents, and still only one parent today (making me a little worried about the fate of that parent). The parents are very protective of the young, making me think that something (accident or predation) has happened to the other adult. This one parent is in overdrive as the only protector.

The four goslings look healthy enough despite that. They’re about twice the size they were a week ago, but still very attached to the remaining parent. They’re very active and covering ground much more quickly than they did a week ago.
