Andrew Haydon Park

An image of Mom and her little ones at 5 to 6 days old. Poor Mom, having to look after so many little ones all by herself. Good thing there are no diapers to change or bottles to heat up.

WHERE IS DAD?

Feisty Dad, probably partying with the boys, should have stayed and help defend the brood of 14, now down to seven. (six lost the first two days and one in the past few days). In case you all forgot what Dad looks like, I'll post some images of him next.

Nikon D300S ,Nikkor 500mm f/4D IF-ED AF-S II
