p.1 #1 · Almost all grown up.

These are some shots of a family of Trumpter Swans that I have been watching since spring, the pair started out with 6 little guys and sadly in less then 2 weeks only one was left. Well I'm happy to say he/she is almost all grown up. It's been a real treat watching them.

My 7D is off to Canon

The dreaded error 30 message

so I took my 40D out for a spin for the last 3 shots from this week.

1. June 2010 down to 4.
2. August, I want to fly.
3, 4, Shot this week.
5. Mom.

CC welcome and thanks for looking.

What a sight, the little ones with their parents. Sadly, their mortality is high....they are lucky if left with one offspring that reaches adolescence.

Partly sad, partly happy story and fine images to support it. Thanks Randy.

Thank you, it was fun watching them. I drive by this section of the river on my way to work every day and pretty much got to see them all the time.

Peter, I was suprised how quickly they disappeared, the parents were very protective. I think a Bald Eagle might have got some of them, he hunts in this part of the river regulery.
