Thanks Sachin & Satyen & Yuko.
Lovely series,
Beautiful!
Yes Ava, she gathers them under wing for protection...I thought that photo was pretty cute with mom appearing to have so many legs. I don't think that was their original scrape...just a depression in the sand.
If the mom is sitting on her scrape nest in the first picture, then please consider adding this spotting to the Animal Architecture mission at http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8082...
So cute!
In picture #3 are the babies under the mom?
Done !

Aww so cute! Wonderful pics!
Nice photo! And kudos to you for doing all of that work!
Thanks everyone! I'm a shorebird chick checker for Audubon. I found the nest and have been following them to fledging. Two out of the three chicks fledged.
Very Cute!
Awesome find and photos!
