Shot this at the Wetlands this late afternoon. The mother and father were both nearby and there were 3 other young ones around. This one wandered into the flowers and I got this shot. Cropped about 50%. Taken with the 400 5.6 and 20 D. Any comments are welcome, as usual.

I was about 15' away and kept moving along with them. I thought it was a cute shot. Thanks, Mitch.

You had to stage this... I'm thinking there's a receipt for one gosling in your purse...
Nice capture, whatever the method.

Love it! Great image, Karen. Birds (baby birds) and flowers makes for a winning combination in my book.

Very well done.

Thanks for the comments! After I posted this, there were no comments and it went to page 2-then someone saw it and commented. I wondered what was wrong with it! Guess the page is moving fast these days! :)
