My friend and I were out last weekend on a nature walk with biologists at a conservation area. Everything was beyond gorgeous. There were hundreds of birds, rare and common; frogs and snakes, protected plants and mammals. As we were walking back to the kiosk, someone pointed out to a blackish lump in the grass, and the biologist picked it up ....
Yes, my heart immediately exploded from the cuteness. The little snapper was less than a week old. At first it didn't move because of the chilly temperature, but slowly it opened its eyes, moved around, and we got to hold this beautiful baby.
Over the next three hours, we got to see two more babies, and then all were released back into the lake. Enjoy the pics!
Ye hoard of duckes ....
That colourful duck is a male wood duck, currently my favourite species of duck. They nest in trees, and are just stunning birds.
