I came across these Shelduck Chicks on the busy promenade at Rossall, there was no sign of the parent birds, although they were probably around in the sand dunes keeping a low profile from all the people. They toddled off along a path and was there that I saw the opportunity to get them lined up with a nice backdrop.
Thanks for viewing my photos and for any favourites and comments, itās much appreciated š
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.
Another shot of this chick/juvenile in the water lilies.
Many thanks for stopping by always appreciated.
I didn't have zoom lens when I saw this cute guy, I had to sneak up... ššš

As this Black Skimmer got up it exposed a newly hatched chick. If you enlarge the pic, look to the left of the two eggs next to the adult. You can make out a wet little chick. Manasquan Inlet, NJ.
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.
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.
About ten days old chick, looks similar to its father (look at the first link, about 5-7 days old). An offspring of my rescued cockerel, Anuradha, sometime mid last year. Anuradha and his missus, Lalita had eleven chicks, their first.

A three day-old Piping Plover chick (Charadrius melodus) skitters by on a beach in Massachusetts. I wanted to take advantage of some interesting lighting in this photo. I got low to provide the right angle. I love the way plover chicks walk. It is so cute!
Taken on Cape Cod.
There were several Arctic Tern chicks around on the Isle of May. Unless they moved, they were quite difficult to spot.
The parents did their utmost to protect their young by dive-bombing anyone that stood around for too long and quite often drew blood.

This chick suddenly looked at me at lunch ā¦ š
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!
An extreme closeup shot of a days old Red-necked Grebe chick nestled next to the neck of its parent who is trying to take a quick nap. The parent has its wing covering the chick.
PS This photo took first place in the wildlife photography class and was awarded division champion for the professional photography division at the Alaska State Fair 2021.
Taken 1 July 2021 in Anchorage, Alaska.
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!
Didn't expect to see a western grebe chick this early. Normally we start to see them in May.
Calero County Park, San Jose, CA

As always, many thanks for taking the time to view, fave and comment. That's very much appreciated

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 ā although one set of chicks survived a leap from a seven-story building.
The Killdeerās broken-wing act leads predators away from a nest, but doesnāt 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.
