It's that time of year again ...

Every river has its feathered babies.

On the bank of the Little Campbell River, Semiahmoo Reserve, this mallard led her brood through the grass:


Three little heads


They jumped off the edge, to join Daddy in the river ...


... got themselves organized, and swam off upstream.


With mallards, there's always a straggler.

And on the shores of the Nicomekl River, ten obedient little goslings stayed close to their parents:


Ten babies.


I love those big, floppy feet!


A cutie.


Under the parent's watchful eye.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
