Sarus Crane with chick, Bharatpur, Rajasthan, India
 
Canon 5D Mark III, 600mm IS II +1.4x, 1/500 sec @ f/8.0, ISO 800
This image was made two days after the image I made and posted here last. Few days before this image, we knew that the chick would hatch any day so we decided to give a break and not come back the next day so as to not stress out the parents.

On the third day we decided to slowly make our way to the same area we had been earlier, to our utmost joy, we saw that the chick had not only hatched but it was already practicing its moves. The parent was watching the chick so diligently. Being able to capture that moment was very special for my friends and me.

Great story, amazing photography Gaurav.
The setting, the chick, the interaction and the light are all special.
As my wife simply put it: "This is a wow picture."
