It's wonderful that you were able to see this little group, let alone get such a nicely composed shot like this. Mama is in front of the chicks, and the pretty little nest is behind them.

Terrific shot!

I love this photo

Nice capture. Can you say a little bit on how you got it. Lens? How close you had to get?

The mama and chicks were right off the boardwalk. Easy shot. I used a Nikon D500 with a 80-400 at 80mm and even then I had to back up a piece.

Wonderful photos, the little chicks are all lining up to be fed lol.

Great shot. I've never seen the babies here.

What good luck for you! They must be used to people being around.

There is a green heron around here but it is pretty skiddish and I have yet to get any good shots.

It is cool to see a shot of chicks like that since it is such a rare sight even if they do look like extras from Jurassic Park.
