The Coot chicks are starting to arrive now in my local pond. Here are a few shots of the first set. Lots of other moms sitting on nests full of eggs. Next week I'm guessing there will be many more chicks. These were taken in rather poor light but hopefully they are still worthy posting here.
"Cute" little guy David. Cute enough to star in the Three Stooges movie. Yikes. Really nice images. These are on my hit list.(as are most other birds, mammals, flowers, etc.)
If being born a Coot isn't bad enough these poor guys aren't even cute when they are little Nice captures David I'm suspecting I'll be seeing these soon enough myself
Gadzooks, David. Never even heard of any baby bird looking so ugly that they're almost (but not quite) cute. Their faces and necks look almost vulture-like. And what wild colors.
Wonderful set.
