Dinosaur babies?

I had to laugh when I saw these Great Egret chicks at Wakodahatchee Wetlands in Florida. Besides being cute as chicks I actually thought for a minute that I was watching a Muppet Movie of some sort. I mean, this is how they look in real life? Well, yes, I think so. I didn't see anyone below the nest with wires to control their movement... I've never seen Great Egret chicks, so this was quite special!

 

I was mesmerized for a while watching these chicks interact with each other and their parent, whose legs are visible in the background.
