Another Growing Family

Following yesterday's post of the baby hummingbirds, I thought I'd continue the theme. This is a mama coot feeding one of her new hatchlings. I had no idea that the youngsters were so brightly colored. They're so cute when they're young....and so annoying when they grow up and invade the 14th green!
Aw this is so sweet. Looks as though the youngsters are getting a lecture about life

The reverse of “the ugly duckling”, they are cute as can be.

Lovely capture Ron with lots of detail and colour, not the prettiest babies in the world but I'm sure their mother loves them:)

@onewing Thanks Babs. I didn't time it quite right, but mama was actually feeding the youngsters. What, I'm not sure, but they seemed to enjoy it!

@louannwarren Reverse indeed, Lou Ann. Cute babies that grow up to be goofy looking adults. Love 'em anyway.

@pcoulson Thanks Peter. Funny how contrasting comments from Lou Ann and you came right in succession. They're weird looking as babies AND as adults.

@pamknowler Thanks Pam. It's that time of year - cuteness abounds!

@mwhipple I was honestly shocked at how bright their colors were. So dull as adults, but so illuminated as babies. Doesn't seem to make for very good camouflage.
