Canada Goose chicks that is... =)

This pond is just down the road from our house, and I noticed that the chicks had hatched the other day. My son and I were heading back home one evening, and I happened to have my meh Sigma 70-300 with me. We tried our best to sneak up on them, but they sniffed us out quick, and headed into the pond.

I know, not the best shots in a purely wow way, but it was quite dark, shooting with that meh slow lens, at a high ISO setting..

they are 'Canada' Geese Chicks.<ul><li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_geese">Canada Geese</a></li></ul>

Interesting to read about the marvelous creatures though! I guess you could say that this family has a creche of sorts, there were 2 adults on our side of the pond, who did not move the whole time we were there, while the parents lead the chicks away..

where's my cookie?
