That bill has a lot of growing to do. These are excellent Steve and I love the ones with them together. Great work.

Outstanding stuff fella!

Excellent set Steve.

Thanks very much everyone for the kind comments. I managed to be in the right place at the right time, it's times like those that make this hobby and the efforts made so rewarding. So many times things don't fall into place but when they all do it's magic. The little ones are so helpless that I can't help but worry how they will survive these fragile days. We had rainy and windy conditions yesterday and I kept wondering how they were.

oh my Steve, you must have been singing in your heart when you were taking these. What a stunning set of images, but also the cute factor is right off the scale. How wonderful to witness and take these images! Lol, you have just got to love those feet!

Thank you Tina. I was grinning pretty much the whole time. It was the perfect morning.

super series again, Steve

Oh my! These are truly special. All are excellent as always, but the last two are way over the top. They should be Mothers Day cards.

The park I usually go to with best access to the little ones has been closed for extensive construction at the boat launch. You make me miss the terribly.

Now, far be it from me to tell you what to do, but it would have been much more fair to put a cuteness alert in the thread title.

Thank you Lil. I hope you get back into the park again soon, I've lost access to my favorite pond due to heavy rains. It doesn't look like I'll get a chance at getting in there anytime soon to look for the Stilts, Reddish Egret and Spoonbills, we keep getting more and more rain.

Oh, and next time I'll post these little ones with an alert.

Great shots.

WHAT a PRECIOUS little guy! Thanks for sharing. Have never seen one of this bird's young before. He is beyond CUTE!

Wow great shots! Very emotional. Thanks for posting

Thanks very much Joe, Betty and Paul for looking and for the kind comments.

I am repeating everyone above +++++++++++++
cheers

Another beautiful set Steve, I don't know how you manage to out do your self all the time, this is another excellent set. The detail in the first four is out of this world. Number three, he sure has some big ol feet going on there.
I always enjoy your sets, the detail here is as good as possible, plus all you go through to get these shots, amongst the best in the world, Well done sir!
