You may have seen the photo in the Daily Interlake on April 15: Downy Newcomers, of an African goose adopting a family of Canada geese. Devvi M. has captured a series of photos of this heart-warming family, which she describes as follows:
“Babies are so sweet and this is the story of an African Goose who adopted a Canada Geese family at Woodland Park. The goose is serving as a nanny, and was very protective of the goslings….and Mom and Dad didn’t mind the extra attention. The parents were getting a little unsettled when some kids got a bit too close, so the family decided to hit the water and work their way back home.
