      Thank you Bill! There were a lot of chicks. It was impossible to tell if they had the same mother or not.

    What a precious pair of chicks. They do not appear to be the least bit concerned about your photographing them. Great shots. genie

    Such adorable little characters who seem to be on a quest of getting to know the world with little fears built in as yet.

    They're so cute...cute coots!!!

    Gunilla? I have often wondered how your last name is pronounced...is it pronounced Bach and in the Composer's name? Or like back. Just curious. :o)

      Thank you Anni!

      My last name is pronounced "Beck" (like the famous guitarist Jeff Beck). The Swedish word bäck means brook (or creak or stream, but either way it's a small one).

    Túto jar som nemala vôbec šťastie vidieť mláďatá lysky.
    This spring I had not lucky enough to see even once chicks coot.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. I will return your visit (if I haven't visited you already), but please be patient. I might not be able to do so until the weekend. Take care!
