I had a lot of fun with these little ones. One in particular was so curious about me that I kept having to back up to get focused. Finally I let it come over to see what I was up to. After a short time it went back to its parents and that's when I got the shots that I really hoped for.

Each image brings a smile Steve... lovely work with the difficult detail of the chicks... that last image is a "Mother's Day" portrait for sure... exceptional.
