There was a flurry of feathery activity the past 2 afternoons. New ducklings, bug catching phoebe and squirrel hating crow.

This afternoon some newly hatched duckling made an appearance. Of course this brought out the predators and a angry drake. I attempting to capture these images and not burn the pork I was grilling.

Sandy alerted me to the new family.

Sadly as usual they only last 24 hours.

Tried sneaking up on the GBH, but it flew away quickly. Probably thought I was a lagoon to lagoon dried fish salesman.

Not sure the nature of the dispute but a female was hell bent on beating the crap outta the other.

As I was waiting for the hummers, then I saw a Great Blue Heron out the corner of my eye.

Did my best to capture this hummer buzzing around in the early evening. Shot @ ISO 2000 & 12,800 so needless to say it was noisy. Thankfully Topaz DeNoise to the rescue.
