The Canada goslings have grown up, now with adult plumage

02. August 2025 - Wildlife

The goslings are now larger and showing adult plumage

The Canada goslings have grown quickly, and the photos from yesterday show that at 55 days old their plumage is now very similar to the adult Canada geese.

It appears that one of the original six goslings has been lost, but the remaining five have grown well.
