I went to the cemetery yesterday and took about 1000 pictures..many of them were of at least 4 separate Canadian geese families with babies of varied sizes... This was a young gosling. But only after I took it I thought he looks so big maybe I was photographing ostriches and didn't remember. Lol. When you don't have a bigger object in the photo for comparison.. It really is hard to judge size.

@infatuatedbby lol. Yep.. I mean I got out a few times.. but not when around the babies.. I don't want to be chased down by geese.

it's funny .. I was sitting in the car taking these pics the whole time.. but I zoomed in here and he must have been a little higher up on a hill or something.. because it looks like I am laying in the grass with him...

It did look like big to me, Minx. That gosling seems to be so serious. I wonder what it is thinking.

Where I have just been on vacation there were lots of swans. On morning when I was walking the dogs one of them charged at me as she had her babies with her! They can be quite fierce. Your pic really does look like a young ostrich.

Yes I am very careful of swans.. I think they are almost as tall as I am! lol I thought so too.. the babies legs seem so thick!

a big bird. Is it young? a baby? He looks so big or is it the picture only?

it is just a baby... this is the babies with their parents as you can see they are not as big as this picture makes them look.
