A would like to share some photos of the Mallard Ducks and the ducklings on the little Fish Creek.
The mother does a good job of protecting the little ones.
The ducklings are a neat pair that I have followed a few times to get photos.
They are hard to find as they move through the water.
Try to visit some others critter sites, they are neat.
Your Missus Mallard is a sweet looking gal and her little fuzzy tots a delight to see for sure!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing once again!
Moms and babies - precious!
ReplyDeleteI know what you men about following. I tried to follow one this week with a whole trail of little ones behind her but they were so fast I had to give us and settle for a long distance shot :)
My post is here: Carletta’s Captures.

ReplyDeleteThere is just nothing like watching Momma duck and babies. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful duck pictures and Bily Ray Cyrus! It doesn't get better than this!
ReplyDeleteOh yeh, the little ones are so sweet and I've seen some up on the creeks here but by time I get out there, they have disappeared. They are being rather shy this year.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been out as much as I would like to have snapping photos of the little ones, next year I hope to be out in full force!
Terrific pictures.
Hey Tom, Love the photos of your mallards and their ducklings. TOO cute.
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a great weekend.

She is definitely in charge of those babies!
ReplyDeleteGreat series of photos! There's just something so endearing about watching a mama duck with her ducklings. Thanks for sharing with us!
ReplyDeleteI like shots of the family!
ReplyDeleteI love the way the water looks in these shots. Nice photo's
ReplyDeleteSensational shots, Tom! I so wish I could pat one, they're so adorable!
ReplyDeleteOh, how sweet! I love these shots; whatta mama.
ReplyDeleteI've often seen your comments on Joan's blog -awesome lakes in the post below -but I can't see more right now -I'm supposed to be packing (I'm moving) LOL
ReplyDeleteSweet ducks! I thought of you this week-I was going down a little 2 lane road and there right in the middle of it were 2 mallard ducks. No water nearby-so who knows what they were doing-but it made me think of you.
ReplyDeleteThose babies are adorable.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,Ruth
How cute the babies are Tom. They get big so quickly but I guess they need to in order to survive.
ReplyDeleteGreat captures of the ducklings!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colored waters and reflections! I always enjoy your very fine nature photos, Fishing Guy.
ReplyDeleteVery nice Tom. These remind me of last Friday when I was up on Middle Bass Island botanizing in a fairly secluded area. A hiding female mallard and her 8 or so babies burst out of the vegetation into a pond only about 5 feet in front of where I was walking. It scared the crap out of me.
ReplyDeleteHi Tom,
ReplyDeleteAn excellent Camera Critters post. It is always great to see the young of any species. I also enjoyed the skywatch series and the deer in Wednesday's post.
Sweet shots of the duck family.
ReplyDeleteFabulous scenery and amazing pictures!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this beautiful post!
Have a nice week!
purrs and love

Oh ... I love these action shots of the ducklings following mom like this! Beautiful ripples and reflections too. I do love Camera Critters!!! This week I've featured Molly at Happily Retired Gal and Ms Kitty at my 'other' blog ... just because.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Their little fuzzy behinds are adorable!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet family!
ReplyDeleteCool series Tom, the first image is the best in my view.
ReplyDeleteAwwww... look at the little ones. I sure would love to see some of those. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. I have a place where I live too to get duck shots.
