I read the good news and rushed over immediately.
These chicks were hatched on Saturday afternoon.
On this image, they are about twenty-four hours old.
There are four more eggs to go.
Unfortunately the Gulls are all around waiting for a chance to steal a chick or damage an egg.
Thanks for looking.

That just puts a smile on my face. What a cool shot Karl, love how the chicks are on the back. Nice soft light. Hope
the chicks make it.

Fantastic shot to get the chicks on her back as she stands up Karl! and then the eggs too! Wonderful image, and the first time I've seen a parent standing up with chicks on board in the forum!! Congratulations!

I hope they make it.

To get the chicks on her back while tending the eggs is really special. Great job, Karl!

Hey, very cool shot Karl. That's too cute. The young look very much like pied-billed grebe young, that striped tiger look.
