Canadian Geese and Babies

The lake we live on has a ton of Canadian Geese year round. During the monthly lake cleanup in April, we saw a few nests on the inner islands while we were canoeing. Well the babies pictured are the 2nd set of babies born this spring. There is a family with 3 babies that are already no longer yellow and getting big, and these babies are 1 week-ish old. I was lucky to catch them on my way home from work today swimming towards shore. They are already starting to lose their yellow.....It is amazing to watch the parents surround them, and shoo away nearby birds.
