Apparently the red heads are to protect the chicks from the sun, The water rail chicks also have the red top knot for the same reason.

Now, that is very interesting. Have never seen this before! Well done!

Very pleasing. Just on the 55 mm, too - they're obviously not worried by humans with big black cameras.

How lovely to see this little family, hope they all survive to adulthood.

What a sweet shot! I have never seen baby chicks before either. They sure look different from Mom.
Paul Milholland10-Aug-2013 23:07
I don't think I've seen baby coots before. Predictably, they fall into the "So ugly they're almost cute. . . ." category. ;-)
