Brand New Wood Duck Chicks
These tiny ducklings were about the size of mom's head. Watching them scurry around, swim and bathe was a joy on a very present morning at Kissena Park in New York City. It was interesting to discover that 3 moms grouped there chicks and then took terns watching them while the other two swam around and I assume that was for a break. I took the photos sitting on the bank behind the rod iron fence I've mentioned before. I hand held my camera at ground level and used the LCD flipped up at 45 degrees to compose. Having become used to shooting between the bars made it less of a challenge. At one point the ducklings wondered up the bank and I was surrounded by them with some as close as one foot. Clearly this was too close to focus so I just sat there and smiled.

Comments and suggestions welcome,
Morris Beautiful set Morris, with so many posing just for you. Love the bokeh as well as the sharpness and expression.
Thank you Robert,
These little balls of fluff were constantly moving.
