Above is a female Wood Duck and her young.
My mother has countless great nature photos. She has an uncanny ability to be in the right place at the right time. I sometimes tease her and say it is like a sixth sense. I think maybe she is just so aware and appreciative of nature around her, that she notices things other people may not.The photo above shows a young Osprey leaving the nest.
This tree swallow house is in my parents' backyard. The birds return each year.
A wary mother red fox and her kits.
And finally, a Common Merganser and her ducklings.I am so thankful to both my parents for my love of nature. If you'd like to surf over to my mother's blog, just click here.
Happy Mother's Day Mom. Love you.
