Took this in March in Florida.
We found them by the side of a very busy road. Pulled over and just sat on the grass and waited for them to come to us. At one point, both parents were 1 foot away from me and the chicks were 6 inches from my foot. The adults were very trusting but were emitting a low pitched trill the entire time the chicks were very close to me. I like to think they were saying "It's OK kids. She is a GOOD human!".
Ann and I actually stopped traffic on the road at one point as the family decided to cross it twice :Whoa!:.
Canon 1 DX 600 MM
ISO 800
SS 1/1600 F 6.3
Cropped of about 30% so 70% FF. Very minimal processing in LR and CS5. Nothing added or cloned.
Comments and critiques always appreciated and learned from with thanks.
