Priceless shot, well done Herb in spite of the lighting challenges.

Superb shot in adverse conditions. But it adds a nice rim lighting to the feathers of the little ones.

Great capture! (And it looks like mom has everything under control, too!)

Herb, that is nice. One day, you'll have to share your huntin spot with me.

what an adorable shot of a high-stepping family! And what an awful environment in which to shoot.
