Make Way for Goslings

Warning: Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures in this post, but they were taken from a moving vehicle.

So we were driving down the road and everybody in front of us had slowed down almost to a stop for no apparent reason. We couldn't see any reason why everyone was just crawling along, until we came upon this sight on the side of the road:Apparently it was time for the goslings to cross the road--reminds me of a joke--maybe to get to a water source?
Anyway, I wish we'd been able to capture it on camera, because the little yellow goslings below were on the left side of the median with Mama and Papa Goose, but two goslings on our side of the median couldn't get over the curb and kept falling back down when they tried. It was so precious! The parents were patiently waiting on the other side but offered no assistance.

I'm sure there's a metaphor about parenting in there somewhere.
Just thought I'd add another post with birds in it.

Those are such cute tiny baby birds! That's like spring around Heritage Halls. All the duck babies hang around the pond near our parking lot. I want to steal them and raise them as my own because they are so cute and tiny and fuzzy!
