New dad gets bent out of shape

Don't  give me that "I didn't know we had kids" look.

ORMOND BEACH, FL - - Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Reserve hasn't had much in the way of a good bird population lately.  But we're stubborn so we keep going back hoping that things will change.  Basically, the area is still way short of the different birds we could find a couple of years ago.  But, the Sandhill Cranes do keep coming back. 
     The cranes are quite noisy so you know they are around, but they tend to blend in with the weeds/brush quite well.  Still, sometimes you get lucky.  This pair and their two chicks were safely nesting a good distance from the trail.  The light was good and when mom stood up with one chick on her back and it looked like pop was getting all 'goofy' for his cute babies we started hitting the shutter button.
