Well it doesn't get much cuter than that. I bet they were ackward, silly, and really fun to watch!

As usual to your style, I love the depth of field you have. Blurry foreground and blurry background with just the small plane of focus on the subject. Very sharp too.

Well Done Steve, Love that you got down to the Birds Level and DOF is On!!

You even get extra points for Cute!!

Thanks very much Joe and Gary.

They are a riot to watch, once they get on the move the crawling game turns into the move on foot and crawl game.

Thanks very much Joe and Gary.

They are a riot to watch, once they get on the move the crawling game turns into the move on foot and crawl game. When they take cover in the grass, the waiting game starts.

Wow! these are just really great shots.

[Steve_E]

Thanks Jim and Paul. Very much appreciated.

Wow, excellent! Like cottonballs on a pair of toothpicks.

Thank you Jamie. They're so tiny it's tough to spot them at first, especially in the open and brightly-lit sand. The adult birds are good indicators that the chicks are nearby.
