Though some consider Canada geese to be a “nuisance” species, they sure have cute goslings. I watched these young ones growing up fast in Bend, Oregon.
Here’s what they looked like a week later.
When I was out kayaking at Prineville Reservoir, these recently-hatched goslings struggled to conquer the huge-to-them wall.
With lots of encouragement from their parents, they finally made it. These little ones showed their incredible ability to adapt.
Canada geese are common in a wide variety of habitats. This pair nested on top of a cliff…

Who couldn't swoon at the sight of a gosling!?
Yes, they are so fluffy and cute. :D
You're right, the goslings are very cute!
Yes, they're little cuties. :)
Awesome shots! I love how you portrayed the whole cliff of their view. They are certainly resilient birds and yes have become a nuisance here in Florida. Those babies sure are cute though! :)
Thanks, Lisa! Yes, lots of goose poop on my walking trail yesterday but they're still part of the local environment.
Goose poop can be quite the mess. Can't complain too much when they are in their own environment. They have domesticated themselves here like other places. :)
On my visits to New Jersey, it was common (especially in the last 15 years) to see a family of geese strolling down main streets. I think as flocks found new waterways, the "word" got relayed and brought in the multitudes.

They manage to find a good place to raise a family no matter where they are. 😁
Really nice photos of the Canadian geese with their goslings. I see these a lot in my area, but I don't remember that I've ever spotted some with goslings.
Thanks, Susan! The goslings are cute but their parents can be very protective of them.
