Checked out the Muscovy's behind the flea market today

Family one

Family two

Found another family - nine chicks, actually, I guess they're called ducklings

Babies, babies and more babies. But who does not like the little ducklings.

Roy,

As promised, here's a couple of shots of the boardwalk and the nesting island.

Seven shots handheld

Four shots handheld

If you look real close, you'll see the eye of a female red winged blackbird.

Great hiding place.

 

[Marilynne]

I saw you, now if I close my eyes, you won't see me.

Wood Stork and chick - highly cropped

This should probably go in the almost thread - darn pond apple

Thanks Don.

Thanks Don.

That is a lot like the area I shot in St Augustine Last month. Great to be level with and up close to the nesting birds. Also that you have a safe and easy walk to shot them from.

And you don't have to worry about the gators getting on the boardwalk. What was the name of the park/wetland you were in Don?

All the times we've been to St. Augustine, we've never gone to the Alligator Farm or the Lighthouse. One of these days.
