We have baby wood stork

Tried to crop closer

Still not ready to leave the nest. Waiting for mama to feed them.

This isn't really "wild" life, but it's not human so perhaps, it's OK.

A new "neigh"bor just arrived today and these were taken right before the colt actually got up for the first time.

I was able to get a video of the first time it stood with my D800 and it can be viewed at New Colt First Step - YouTube

This is all that is left from the three families behind the flea market. According to the security guard, the ospreys and hawks have developed a taste for duckling.

Thanks Steve. Most of the babies have a lot of bad hair days.

TriColor Heron chicks. Very popular spot for photographers. Nest is about three feet from boardwalk. Couldn't get in a spot where I was able to get all of mom. There are three babies.
