Hi Richard,
Many thanks for sharing these. A red balloon? What is all that junk? I haven't been down to Col. Sam for some time. These little babes are delightful!

Great shots Richard

The red balloon is put there to protect the birds from being run over by the boats in the marina

there was no way for me to get a shot without it in the picture.

I was there last night and they were well into the marina. Hopefully they will return closer to shore.
