Lost Duckling

Description

on our hike yesterday as we started to shot some ducks on the grass area I spotted this ostrasized little guy so darn cute and sweet but lost and hungry... called for help and took him to the animal shelter where from there they would send him to a bird rescue about 40 minutes away... am sure you will see more of this little guy :)
