It was so cute. The parents were 'honking' and the kids were running. Finally, they all got over in the pond at the side of the road.
Does anyone remember the Disney movie "The Rescuers?" and the duck that had trouble flying/getting off the ground? That's what these guys reminded us of. (also an American Coot --but we didn't get a photo of him. He was running to beat the band...and flapping his wings, and he just couldn't take flight! Sooo funny.)

Holy cow, I wonder how many goslings there are! That's amazing! I hope you didn't scare them too much.
That is so funny! I can just hear the Mom Goose honking, "Run for your lives!!". Thanks for sharing it!
Those poor scared geese! :) The background of the photo is gorgeous with the fields and the hills.
Hope there is a lake nearby! They are sure moving...
They're Canada Geese, no matter how many of them there are. They are never "Canadian" geese (because not all of them come from Canada LOL) That's a HUGE family - they usually only lay 5-8 eggs. Maybe they took the neighbors out for a walk LOL Nice picture!
With a view like that, I wouldn't mind having to wait for them to move off the road! Plus, I'd have loved watching them.
Karen is right, it's Canada Geese, however, everyone always says Canadian Geese (even we do). I had 2 of them in my front yard today. Now I have to watch where I step. Cute pic!
Who knew geese could have so many kids? Imagine having that many teenagers of your own at one time! Lol. Great picture!

Adorable, and that's a lot of kids to keep track of!
I saw a mama duck today with 9 ducklings, have to admire anyone who can keep up with that.
How cute....Mama must be nervous. :)
Now that is a BIG family; very cute indeed.
I love this pic!!
I live in Mississauga, On. geese have been a plague in our city for a number of years, and now I hardly see any. the powers that be must have done something. I do remember the Disney movie it was a favourite. Great shot. Thanks for sharing.
I love this shot... I've never seen geese run away like that. The ones around here will stand in the street while cars dodge them, they are fearless.
That must be two families of geese. The maximum number of eggs a female can incubate is about eight.
I think that's the biggest family of geese I've ever seen. No wonder momma goose can't fly -- she's too exhausted! :)
