It
seemed to be a struggle to keep up with mother moorhen, for these
fluffy chicks. I turned the corner and took a few shots of the
harlequin duck - posing for the camera on this occasion - along with
the info board.
I
got a couple of close ups before moving along - and what should I
find but more babies! This time a coot and youngster. Parent coot
seemed more interested in eating, though.
Baby
coot wanted munchies too - and from the last photo I will share
with you today, it looks like mommy coot is about to teach baby coot
how to find its own food!
Finally - HERE is some info about the jay - we have one that sometimes comes to eat peanuts in our yard.
The baby moorhen reminds me of me when I was a kid. My mother was a very fast walker. :D
ReplyDeleteI love those pictures of the harlequin duck among all the tiny flowers.
And the mommy and baby coots are adorable.
definitely some interesting birds at Arundel.
