The Snowy Plover are doing ok this season - more nests have been successful than perished. One little family now has 27 days old chicks and a new family has a couple 2 days old chicks.
 |
| When the heat rises - a bit of shade can do a lot of good. |
 |
| The new chick on the block - 2 days old. |
 |
| The female is keeping a close watch on her brood. |
 |
| So much to see and so much energy. |
 |
| They are quite agile on their feet and fast too. |
 |
| The older chicks from another family. |
 |
| In the meantime the families were crossing boundaries and that didn't fly very far - they fought to regain territory. |
 |
| The little ones are watching - they too will have to employ this technique when they get older. |
 |
| These chicks are definitely high on my 'cute' list. |
