All the geese are molting and poor Picked-on, who didn't have much of a tail to begin with, now has no tail at all. I don't know if he'll ever get a tail again. He's already flightless anyway.
The goose family is doing great. They are such great parents.
Mom with the seven ducklings are still around, all seven of them:
This little one is a troublemaker. He's a bit younger than the others, but is over-active and leads his siblings astray to do naughty things. I hope he doesn't get caught by the heron as he's still small and off on his own a lot. He led another duckling down to where some older ducklings were resting and that other duckling picked fights with the bigger ducks. Mama duck doesn't seem to care.
I also saw the mama with the three oldest ducklings at the lake. One appears to be a male, but I don't know about the others.
I made a Youtube video of some of yesterday's events:
