I usually edit pics, wait a couple of days, check the edit, then finally maybe let other people see the picture. This time I'm just going to go ahead and post. Avocet egg hatch today. They are only under the parents care around the nest for 24 hours before they are in the water and fairly independent. I'm glad I was there at the right time. More pics later. :)

Day 3 in the lives of these Avocet babies. They are eating and moving around the shore on their own. Mom isn't too far away, guarding but not supervising. It's amazing how advanced these babies are from the time they are born. Very independent.
