Cute is an understatement!

Some animals just got the look. That look that goes beyond Cute. Ducklings have that. Most birds are pretty ugly as babies....Ducks are not one of them. Mama duck here pretty much paraded them right in front of me while I was shooting Marsh birds and they settled down so close I had to back up to focus. I guess she was offended I was paying too much attention to the big white Marsh Birds.

Thanks Pat. I had been standing by the marsh a good 2 hours so they probably just figured I was no threat.
