A cute mallard duckling probably less than a week old swimming towards me at the local pond.

This post is not about baby back ribs, although that would be great, wouldn’t it? Sorry for misleading you. It’s actually a red-necked grebe family. If you look closely (you may have to click-through to view the full size version), you can see one of the baby grebes sitting on the parent’s back. I thought it was pretty cute.

For my final duckling week post, here is a shot where I focused on the mother instead of the ducklings. Of course, you can still see the little ones behind her. I hope you enjoyed the week’s images.

You can tell by his relaxed pose that this little guy wasn’t worried about anything, with Mom between him and the people.

Here’s a shot of two ducklings swimming more or less towards me. This photo did pretty well on Flickr, making it onto the Explore page for a little while.

Today’s duckling is the same guy as yesterday just from a slightly different angle. What I like about this photo is the way the water looks with the ripples and reflection.

Today’s duckling photo I converted to black and white. There was enough contrast to make the water almost disappear due to the little guy being in direct sunlight.
