April 24, 2014

Today's trip was to Women's Park. A lot of young babies, flighted, but still being fed by their parents. Very cool to see.

Muscovy ducklings

I had to use the fast-action sports setting on my camera to get these two shots. The parents move really quickly to stuff food into their constantly crying babies.

This gives me hope that I'm not missing the breeding season. Even though some individuals already have teenage babies, others are still messing with nesting material. Plus the safe dates for some species haven't even started yet. I need to not worry and just enjoy the process of discovery.

Muscovy Duck nest. What I wouldn't give to just riverdance the life out of those eggs.

This was at another park down the street, Ruben Dario. The starling was nest building in there.
