I was later than usual going into the park the day the eggs hatched. I walked along the inside path to the nesting area and along the way I ran across the geese and their young who were getting very big. As I rounded the final stretch, I could see the male swan off to the right. As I moved to the edge of the lake and let my eyes travel to the female on the nest, I could see four small furry golf-blall-sized heads with dark grey beaks sitting in front of mom. I was so excited. Luckily I already had my camera out since I'd seen the goslings. I was able to get a few shots off before a huge white wing swept them beneath it.
