Cute Alert: Chick check

[billbunton]

The younger group of 10 is down to three :-(. Not sure if the turtles got them, or what. There was a male really tormenting them today.

Why did the duck cross the road?
1/640s at f/8, ISO 400, 200-400/4 + 1.4x at 400mm


So he could cross back to the original side...
1/640s at f/8, ISO 400, 200-400/4 + 1.4x at 550mm


And then go back...
1/640s at f/8, ISO 400, 200-400/4 + 1.4x at 550mm


That's it! I've had it!
1/750s at f/8, ISO 400, 200-400/4 + 1.4x at 420mm


Who you lookin' at?
1/500s at f/8, ISO 400, 200-400/4 + 1.4x at 420mm


1/500s at f/9, ISO 400, 200-400/4 + 1.4x at 550mm

The "bird" Lady told me, the turtle usually get them babies. One pull from the bottom you never heard it again. Cruel of the nature..well.

Very funny series, great capture!!, Thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone! Luckily, these are still at the cute stage.

I think (maybe it's wishful thinking) they've gotten big enough not to be turtle bait any longer. There are a couple good sized turtles in the creek there.
