Hey little chicky

The killdeer eggs in our backyard hatched early this morning or last night. It appears all four hatched, and there were little cotton balls running around the yard this morning before work.



I decided to take my chances and see if I could get a little closer. The chicks are small enough that their instinct is to play "I am a rock you don't see me", so I was able to walk up and get a closer picture.

Great pics of the killdeer! I love how the picture shows the sun hitting the blades of grass.
