A little pink head peeking out from under Mommy. It is so fascinating to watch the care given to the little ones by the mother. To see her tuck first the eggs and then her babies under her to keep them warm. As I'd watch I'd see her check the babies over from their head to their feet. The feedings were most interesting. When the babies were tiny they seemed transparent so one could see the feedings go down. Then as they grew bigger to watch their eagerness as they scurried to mommy, their beaks pointed up, to see who would get fed first.
