"I really enjoy visiting the marshlands at any time of year, but it is especially exciting
in the springtime when there is a chance of finding nests or seeing broods of young
birds. This is a marsh along the eastern seaboard. We had had an exciting day
observing laughing gulls, oystercatchers and ospreys. At the end of the day, I was
lingering to enjoy the patterns of glowing light and strong dark silhouettes. The
scene was very satisfying, even from the strictly abstract point of view, but my
excitement was enhanced when a little piece of silhouette detached itself and
became a hen mallard with her brood of downy ducklings hurrying to find
a safe place for the night." - Robert Bateman
