One was up in the grass.
The other 2 were down in the muddy water. Can you see the baby? It's camouflaged.
It looked as though this was a family of 3. The parents were telling their baby, "Get out of the mud! You're going to get stuck, and won't be able to fly away!"
Soon after I took these photos Isaak fell in the muddy water further downstream. Where the water was deeper. It's probably because I wasn't getting after him. I was too busy watching the birds discipline their young.
Random: Isaak swears that he speaks bird. He tweets a tweeting noise. Birds actually tweet back.
Do you think other animals besides us discipline their young?
How cute that he can tweet with them :)
ReplyDeleteI believe they do discipline their young just as we do...
I would think they do. They have to learn their behaviors somewhere, right?
ReplyDeleteYes I would think so too!
ReplyDeleteOh took me a while but I saw the young bird.. good camouflage haha
I think these nature photos are terrific!

Oh they definitely discipline their young.... and falling in the water? I used to do so regularly; accidentally on purpose of course. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI think they probably do. They at least teach them about the dangers in the open, I imagine.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine they are tweeting hillariously :)...I guess it's just natural that they teach and learn some tricks in the wild for survival..
ReplyDeleteI swear the geese here are telling their little goslings what to do.
