 Spring
is the time of the year when new chicks make their debut.
Many
contributing photographers to the
Utah Birds Photo Gallery
have captured photos of these cute and bewildered little creatures
soon after their arrival into their new world. There are
featherless chicks like the the weak-necked pink-skinned Prairie
Falcon hatchlings in the photo to the right taken by
Kent Keller
......... |
  ...and
have young birds striking out on their own, like the California
Quail in the photo on the left taken by
Erick Huish.
And photos of birds, literally trying to figure out which way is up,
like the Burrowing Owl on the right captured by
Mia
McPherson. |
  The
young Western Grebe on the left might be pleased to find himself on a
free cruise with a free buffet, while this little Northern Pygmy-Owl
on the right, photographed by Andrea Faust, may be saying, "This isn't at all what I expected." |
  The
American Coot on the left pictured by Jack Binch found himself in a
clown outfit while the Pied-billed Grebe
chicks were decked out with war paint, though they're destined to by
quit peaceful as adult . |
  Are
the Barn Swallows on the left, photographeed by Loraleigh
Anderson, destined to be singers or bud swallowers? Or the
noble-looking eaglets on the right destined to be fierce hunters? |
