Momma goose seems to keep them near & under a willow tree on the water's edge.
I guess the willows keep them relatively hidden and they can jump in water if land based predators arrive.
The little ones stay close to Momma Goose.

That Momma Goose instinctually knows how to keep them as safe as possible from all of the predators you listed. Pretty impressive for that tiny bird brain.
