1. Cattle Egrets, India
Photograph by Avinash Upadhyay, My Shot.This Month in Photo of the Day: Animal PicturesFebruary 12, 2012 - We saw a lot of cattle egrets in a dried paddy field in the afternoon. The light was profuse, and even as I concentrated on the nearest bird, it began to lift off. Although the image is bathed in light, I love it because that is what India is all about - a profusion of light.(This photo and caption were submitted to My Shot.)

February 14, 2012 - Alert to human visitors, a young mountain gorilla and its mother sit tight in Bwindi Impenetrable Park. When the park opened in 1991, villagers resented losing access to forest where they had gathered honey and wood. Today the park shares the fees from gorilla-watching tours with the locals, a small victory in the Albertine Rift's unending clashes for liveable space.

The island is a sanctuary for puffins and other endangered birds that breed on its rocky coast each summer. Puffins mate in the same pairs for life, yet disperse for the winter.(This photo and caption were submitted to Your Shot.)

6. Ducklings
Photograph by Raymond Tzul, Your ShotThis Month in Photo of the Day: Animal PicturesFebruary 17, 2012 - This is a picture of our newly born baby ducks. They are about a week old. The mother duck was killed by our neighbour's dog, and my mom did not know what to do. She was advised to set up a homemade incubator, and the baby ducks were born a couple of weeks later. This particular picture shows one of the baby ducks snuggling next to another one while keeping an eye on the camera as we took the photo.(This photo and caption were submitted to Your Shot.)See more pictures of baby animals
