Got the hen with her babies on the roost Tuesday at dusk.

Turkeys are prettier when they are very young. Good catch.

Thanks, Ben. Amazing to see the babies fly up to Mama and she protects them under her wings for the night.

Hey Don, these are not loading for me for some reason. I had looked earlier and couldn't see them so I was thinking I had a bad internet connection, but I still can't see anything by place holding thumbnails..

Upload them directly if you can please. It makes it easier also for me to promote them to Featured Photos when they are not hotlinked to another site.

Wonderful capture!!!

Hey Don, it's weird that Debbie and Ben can see it, but I can't. You host these on Flickr? I wonder if Flickr is mad at me?

I can't see them either - I just get a blue question mark.

Another blue question mark:

 

[Debbie Stahre]

That is strange that you guys don't see them. It's usually me that has problems with seeing things because of the browser I use, but I tried 2 browsers and both show the image.

 

[AlanLichty]

I am failing equally with Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.

 

[AlanLichty]

OK - I grabbed the link for the image and can see the following:

All three browsers report similar messages about being unable to establish a secure connection but the Firefox message gave the most concise explanation.

Yea, it is not my link as it works on FM. Strange and my link works on latest Firefox. May be an issue with some of the anitivirus software.

Your hosting company might be using a caching server for content and that would be the link Firefox is showing. I have no proxy servers in the chain from my end but the link I see revolves to a company named NameCheap, Inc. on a whois query. All other info about NameCheap at ICANN is listed as Redacted For Privacy. Not sure how else this address would be what is seen from the perspective of my ISP.

And right as I posted the above comment your images do show up - and I like all of them. Especially the shot showing them under the wing

 

[Littlefield]

Thanks, Alan so cool to see the babies fly up to Mama and that one is on top of her. Weird about the glitch posting and glad you are able to see them now.
