Chick?

  • Maggirayne by Maggirayne

    Is there a chick in the lower left quadrant below the penguin with it's back to us?

    Hi Maggirayne! I've taken a really close look and sadly can't see any chicks at all. I do know that he chicks probably hatched about this date at this site. When the chicks are really tiny the parents stand half bent over in 'guard position' which is a clue to look for them. But we never mark a chick unless we really can see it 😃

    I see a dark blotch, but I do not think it's a chick. @Maggirayne - Here's a link that clearly shows a very young hatched chick so you can see what they look like. 😃 Tiny chick
