Maybe the Mallards were more cooperative, or perhaps I was just more in sync with their movements.

After photographing the adult Mallards, I stumbled upon this scene on my way back to the Welcome Center. A group of baby Mallards was exploring the ground, pecking curiously at the dirt and foliage. Their fluffy feathers and tiny, adorable movements were a heartwarming sight. I couldn’t resist capturing a few shots.
