Hi Jim & All, May 26, 2010
With respect to your last question, perhaps the monogamous (sometimes spelled monotonous) behavior of ganders has been greatly exaggerated.
In a more serious vein, I recall that Ostrich pool the eggs of many hens in one nest. Might geese sometimes do this also ?

Subject: [NatureNS] Can. goose with 18 goslings!
MAY 26, 2010 - Linda and Andy Cann report, two days ago, a single adult Canada goose with 18 goslings! on Nine Mile Lake, Lunenburg County, where they have a cottage.
Wasn't there a photo in the Chronicle Herald?, within the past three days or so, of the same phenomenon but from some exotic place like Manitoba or Ontario?
Now who can make some guesses about how such a development happens, i.e. one parent goose with 18 goslings??
Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
