Leave it to Nello to be staring at a "CHICKS BUTT"

Doug, these are great, I kinda like the concrete as a bkg. looks neat with the bokeh. I also like how you can see the tooth on the beak. Great job, and your usual funny looking subject matter.


Thanks Chad. When I titled this post, I figured Nello would have to jump in with something like that. As for my subject matter....ehhhh, I'll address that at another time.

An excellent series Doug. I have never seen a kildeer chick before. I too like the wall/bg.

Thanks Ted, they are so small I almost didn't find them that morning.

Very nice series Doug. I was just on vacation and there was a kildeer nesting in our rental home in the driveway with 4 eggs. Wish I could have seen those chicks hatch.

Thanks J, they should come back to the same spot next, just time your vacation a little later.

Doug -
These shots are right up there on the "cuteness scale". And, what timing for Mother's Day!

Thanks much Ken, they were about 7 days earlier this year than last, you're right, a perfect Mothers Day gift.

first Killdeer chick I have seen. I hope he grows into those legs. Heehee


Thanks Adam, it amazes me that as soon as they are born they hit the ground running.

Cute little bugger you got, Doug. I've never seen one in real life. Very good captures with 1, and 3 being my favorites.

Thank you Socrate, I went back for more shots, but they have disappeared, I hope to try again tomorrow.

Heck Doug, I thought these kildeer just hatched into adults, had no idea they were ever chicks I can remeber seeing eggs and the parents and never ever seeing a chick, cool fun shots. That chick has got some sweet legs and a great bobble head

Great images. Brings back many memories as my Brother and I would see these by the hundreds as kids in Kansas many years ago. Killdeer seem to nest everywhere and anywhere. Somehow they defy the odds.

Great shots Doug. Mom Killdeers are extremely protective of their young. Nice shots of these fuzzy little guys. Verno
