MOTHER GOOSE'S BABIES ARRIVED - AN UPDATE FROM APRIL 16

 
Six of the seven eggs hatched the night of the April 27th storm! The mother, father and six goslings are doing great and were up eating the morning of my birthday on April 28th. Here they are - all enjoying some stale bread I served them for breakfast. At first I panicked when I opened the blinds and saw the empty nest with one unhatched egg. I thought mother goose was scared away from her nest by the storm and downfall of rain and some animal had snacked on the other eggs. I looked out a couple of times to see if the mother had returned to the nest only to see her and her new family looking up at me with a hungry look in their eyes! I was relieved and I could not believe that her six goslings were up eating just a day after they were born during a storm!
