Great Egret chicks about 4-5 weeks old, still very downy. Usually one parent stays with them at the nest until the chicks are 3-4 weeks old, when both parents will sometimes start to leave to forage for food.

This was an interesting encounter. This little wood duck chick seemed to be on its own, with no other wood ducks around. But there was a family of common gallinules nearby and one of the parents kept trying to scoot the wood duck over into their family, almost as if they were adopting it.

I was super excited to see and photograph burrowing owls with chicks. My husband and I found a few different nests and were able to witness some wonderful behavior. Here the chicks posed nicely in front of a pond.

The smallest flamingo chick I've seen so far. It looks like he has just learned to walk. ❤️

This killdeer chick is not one that I saw hatched a few weeks ago. Still closely guarded by a parent, yet quick enough to elude the parent on occasion, allowing a bit closer shooting.

Thanks so much for the visit!

Two new additions to the family that arrived on Easter Sunday.

Millie is a Rutland Rhode Rock hybrid, and Martha is a Rutland Ranger hybrid.

Not only did she bribe the pets ... but i had peanut better and jam sandwiches for supper.....in some cases losing is better 😂

Dieses Küken sah mich plötzlich beim Mittagessen an … 😊

This chick suddenly looked at me at lunch … 😊

A common tern chick being as cute as can be :-)!

Same chick and fish as in previous 2 photos.

This action seemed to be aggressive from the adult to the chick. It was not delivering food and the little one stood up for itself in several shots.

Thanks so much for the visit!

This is our first Great Blue Heron chick. Picture was taken on January 11th. He's getting big!

Thanks so much for the visit!

The circle of life begins again! The Cullinan Limpkins have finally succeeded in bringing a new family into the world. Proud Mom and Dad were foraging, about 100 ft away from me this morning, with their six adorable chicks. Mom here with one baby crying for food.

Yesterday I went to look for shore birds and was happy to see this piping plover chick running around with its parents. There were also a few still on nests.

These chicks are so tiny that it is hard to see and photograph them at times. This one came closer to me :-)! Piping plovers are a threatened and endangered species!

Sempervivum from my garden also known as Hens and Chicks. My guess is the flowers are chicks.☺️

is there anything more peaceful than a mom duck with her ducklings?

Gibt es etwas friedlicheres als eine Entenmutter mit ihren Küken?

Killdeer get their name from the shrill, wailing kill-deer call they give so often. Eighteenth-century naturalists also noticed how noisy Killdeer are, giving them names such as the Chattering Plover and the Noisy Plover.

Gravel rooftops attract Killdeer for nesting, but can be dangerous places to raise a brood. Chicks may be unable to leave a roof because of high parapets and screened drain openings. Adults eventually lure chicks off the roof, which can be dangerous – although one set of chicks survived a leap from a seven-story building.

The Killdeer’s broken-wing act leads predators away from a nest, but doesn’t keep cows or horses from stepping on eggs. To guard against large hoofed animals, the Killdeer uses a quite different display, fluffing itself up, displaying its tail over its head, and running at the beast to attempt to make it change its path.

A well-known denizen of dry habitats, the Killdeer is actually a proficient swimmer. Adults swim well in swift-flowing water, and chicks can swim across small streams.

This chick is 7-10 days old

Same chick, still working on that fish that the parent feed to it.

the chicks of spotted eagle owl (bubo africanus) are very mimetic and they stay often on the ground.

of course they are mimetic until....they open their big eyes!

Note the eye size difference between these chicks, born about a week apart. The food the parent is offering appears to be a dragonfly nymph.
