Birdie!
Sometimes having a camera with you pays dividends...
Forgive the clarity, this was at the blunt end of a 30X zoom, but worth it.

Awww! Adorable! 
Not good on baby birds 
so not a clue on the first one, looks like it should be coot or something, but I know they don't look like that - or at least, they don't when very young! :/

I *think* it may be a coot. I am investigating
The others, of course, are goslings
