Only a mother could love these faces!

The coot parents we have been watching finally welcomed 5 babies to their nest. All's well :)

I love the Coots and their string bean feet but yes, the babies are another story all-together - truly only a mother... Great shot with wonderful detail! Comp is super nice too. If I just focus on the nearest baby (to me, bottom frame) this is so sweet!

Five ! That’s a lot ! We have a lot of coots in the canals but they never have more than 1 or 2 chicks ....beautiful detail !
