Purple Gallinule chick part II (@ 2 weeks)
Apr 29, 2018 21:39:20 #
I have been retired and doing photography in earnest since 2011. This has been my first real opportunity to catch some images of the early Purple Gallinule chicks ! I believe they are about 2 weeks old now (3 of them).
This image shows how they can walk on lily pads with their huge feet.
Today's shot with 80D, 400 prime, 1.4X II, from monopod.
