    Lone Survivor....Mallard chick

    I have been watching several Mallard and Wood Ducks families down by the lake. This Mallard Chick had 5 siblings 10 days ago.... now he is the lone survivor.

    Love the image, especially the angle of the shot!

    I was out at a local state park this weekend watching a gator stalk some Black-Bellied Whistling Duck chicks, normally I'm all for nature taking its course but they were just too darn cute not to hope they got away.
