Thanks everybody! I appreciate the comments, as always.
They weren't very scared of us at all, it was great to get that close.

aahh..I didn't see these ones too! So cool. I know you must have a pretty good zoom on your lens, but it still looks like you were fairly close...I'm surprised they stuck around. Great photos!
