We sat and watched the new babies and their parents deal with the outside world on their first day of being alive. The parents had their hands full keeping track of four chicks and keeping potential predators away.
The Egret left pretty quickly.
Another pair of adult Black neck Stilts even came over and pitched in harassing the unwelcome predators. The babies were so little they could have been a tasty snack.
After a while the parents were frustrated with all the attention. They gathered the babies up and swam across the canal where the grasses provided better cover and we haven’t seen them since.
We’re so happy we saw them on their first day in the world. We look forward to seeing them again.
Hope you enjoyed this adventure.
Stay safe! XO
