What an amusing set of blog photos and notes. I've never seen any Cootlings that young and that "interesting" looking. So glad their parents love them.

Thanks Sally. And they only look like that for a very short time!!

I was so pleased to see your photos and notes on these Cootlings and their parents. ‘Was lucky enough to observe two sets of chicks at Sweetwater Wetlands and another trio of chicks while launching my kayak at Patagonia Lake. ‘Sorry not to have spotted the photographer during this year’s visit…
