Mother Swan and Babies

Uploaded: May 31, 2013

Description

This beautiful Mother Swan and babies were out for a swim. Taken at Lake Morton. Lakeland FL. The light ones were two days old. The dark one was one day old. A lady that was there had told me she checked on them everyday. They keep them roped off. They also have cameras on all the nest 24 hours a day. Last year people had taken all the eggs from the nest.

Exif: F Number: 8, ExposureTime: 1/1250 seconds, ISO: 320, White balance: Auto white balance, Model: NIKON D90

Beautiful capture Kay of the mother Swan and her babies. It's so hard to believe that there are individuals out there that would steal the eggs from their nest, glad to hear that there are so many this year, keep us posted on their progress. #10740279
