Baby semipalmated plover! |
The dad - doing his broken wing dance to distract us away from the babies. |
Last egg. Most of these plovers have 4 eggs per nest. This nest had 3, and 2 had hatched this day. |
Its eyes were already opening and it had full feathers. Hearty creatures, eh? |
The 2 hatched babies. |
The dad sitting on the eggs. The parents share babysitting duties. |
A forested area where there has been 2 fires in the past 20 years. You can see the dead trees still there and taller than the rest of the new trees and shrubs. |
How Cute! You actually can hold the baby birds? Don't the parents get mad?
