There are already two extra pair of legs beneath mom :).

Spring is a wonderful time for new beginnings, reminiscing from a previous Spring and wishing everyone lots of nice photo opportunities - conversely, wishing a lovely Autumn for those in the southern hemisphere.

Great capture of the moment. Beautiful light and interaction. Those legs are a bit of a brain twister. :)

Such a great image of the Avocet with chicks. I love it when you can get at least one under the wing. Someday I'd like to see that. Until then.....I'll just enjoy your image. Well done.

This is outstanding, Lynn! An original and striking image that tells a wonderful story with that extra pair of legs under mom. I've never seen this tender behavior portrayed so well. Thank you, and congratulations! :)
