Baby Ruddy

Well, since I posted a likely female, and a for sure male, I thought it is only fitting to post a Baby Ruddy Duck.

 

taken from quite a distance, and these guys are tiny at this stage, this is a hefty crop to the center pixels without any downsizing, and although the detail may not be the absolute best, I feel that it does not take away from the cuteness factor.

 

taken about six weeks ago, I know they grow fast, but it always concerns me to see something so small at that time of year. I hope it was strong enough to make the journey south.
