20160613 4938 SERIES - Mallards.jpg

Ottawa West

Four behavioural shots of a Mom Mallard and her young brood.

Top Image: Mom is relaxed and trying to sleep and the young are comfortably snoozing.

Mom senses trouble and looks about. The young immediately become alert and look around too.

False alarm, its only a dog on a leash. Mom relaxes and starts preening and the young go back to sleep.

Once finished preening, Mom tucks her head back in to sleep as the young continue their snooze.

1/500s f/8.0 at 260.0mm iso1000 full exif
