Three Green Heron Chicks venturing from the nest, just a short way.

D300, f/6.7 @ 1000 mm, 1/200, ISO 200.

Cute is right. I am on my way to South Louisiana today to photograph "cute chicks" myself. Thanks for sharing.

These "cuties" are pretty adventuresome straying away from the nest like that. It always amazes me how fast the maturation process is in avain species. Before you know it they will have "flown the coup"!

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you Karla. Their parents must like them, they keep feeding them. :wink:

Thanks Daniel, best of luck on your trip!

Thanks Wayne. If it doesn't quit raining and dark clouds around here they may be flying before I can make it back. Need some sun around here.
