I really find this a wonderfully sweet shot . They are so ugly, they are cute

I like how you left mom overlooking them in the shot.

I wonder if predators are repulsed or fooled by that ugly getup. They are on my wishlist nonetheless. Nice shot Tim.

Awwwww, they are so 'Cooooot'

These little chicks make a Turkey Vulture look handsome!

Rather a cool shot Tim

Occupational hazard of looking at FM infrequently: working backwards through great posts like this one.

I don't think I've ever seen coot chicks, but I'm with Birdie...ugly and cute all at the same time. (Not quite as cute as a PBG chick, though!)

A terrific shot, Tim.
We have coots at our local refuge- but I've never seen a baby one.
And what a surprise bit of information: I didn't know any of the vegetarian duck-like birds actually fed their chicks. Thanks for the new info.
