Make Way for Goslings

Spotted leaving work this afternoon, crossing the BU Bridge on Memorial
Drive along the Charles River in Cambridge, an extended family of geese.
Bringing both drivers and joggers to a stunned halt, the gaggle of approximately
50 geese and ganders (and a couple of scruffy ducks, or maybe they were
goslings) strolled across the the crosswalk and gathered in the shadow-shrouded
grassy island in the middle of the bridge traffic circle. Although tempted
to investigate further, we only circled twice, and then hurried on our
way.
