Baby Birds

The great crested grebes on Canada Water have hatched a couple of chicks. And there are ducklings too.

Here are the grebe chicks on their mother's back.

The chicks seem keen on that idea.

Thank you. (We don't get great crested grebes right around here.)

Aw. Stripey.

And how can ducklings be so cute and yet also so delicious? (That one's safe for now, though; it needs to grow to a more productive size.)
