First up ... 24 goslings (count 'em) swimming with their guardians. It is quite possible that the 2 adult Canada Geese are the resident "babysitters" for the consolidated brood of other mated pairs.
Geese are also known to kidnap others' 'children' and incorporate them into their own brood. (Thanks for the additonal information, Paul!)
This Barn Swallow was very patient with me as I "crept" up to take this photo of him perched on a bronze deer antler. One last look and to the air he took!
The proud Goldeneye mama paraded her 12 ducklings cautiously back and forth so that I might keep them forever in visual memory!
A baby House Wren just fledged from the nest sat a spell for his first official portrait!
What an amazing flash of colour this oriole brought to the "table" !
This Junkyard Raven kept a watchful eye on all that was happening around his domain. There might have even been a small treat left for him!
