Four Day Old Penguin Chick

New Born Humboldt Penguin with her Father

First Born http://www.kansascity.com/2014/05/28/5052031/penguin-hatchling-at-the-kansas.html

VERY difficult shot to get. It took lots of patience.
The photo artifacts are a combination of thick glass, bad lighting, deep shadows, dirty fingerprints on the glass; plus color reflections on the glass from milling people. Not the image quality I would have liked.
Nevertheless, after 90 minutes of waiting for dad to move a little bit, I got the shot!!! A "first" only happens once.
