     Sorry it has taken so long to answer but have been in training. Canada 
     Geese sometimes form what is called 'a gang brood' with one pair or 
     even 2 females 'in charge' of multiple broods. I have seen large gang 
     broods here at Patuxent WRC. I have also seen them with only one adult 
     in attendance but in my experience there are usually two. Hope this 
     helps.

Earlier today I saw, on the lake outside my office window 
(one of the lakes near Lake Forest Mall in Gaithersburg),
a single adult Canada Goose leading a line of *18* goslings 
- with no other adult within 100 yards. Any speculation on 
how this situation came to be?
