Title: Canada Geese - is this possible?

The other morning we saw two Canada geese on the river in the park. Nothing unusual in that - except that we counted over 24 goslings following them!
Surely they couldn't have been all from the two geese? There were no other adults nearby.

Good Grief!
That makes our lot seem like a very small family. :o
Thanks Flighty,

That is a lot!

I wonder if they are anything like Ostriches? The dominant pair usually 'adopt' all the ostrichlings and can end up with loads of 'kids'.
