Admit it: they're gorgeous

These are my babies. Well, I guess they're the geese's babies too, sorta. They are just the sweetest things and they make this little chirpy noise. It's an endearing package. If your bandwidth can stand it, click on the photo for the larger version. They're absurdly cute.

Anyway, they're growing up fast so I thought I'd post this image to show their progress. This is Milo's brood. They're the oldest and consequently the darkest of the chicks in the yard. The stray little guy is hanging on, I'm happy to report. But the poor thing has nobody to play with! He's going to be socially hobbled. Awwww.
