This mom and chick were inseparable on the beach, except when mother would briefly leave for food while skimming a sandbar protected bay of the Atlantic. The little chick were go crazy, waiting and calling for her to return. They were cute and interesting beyond description!
They love to sing while in download! :-)

Great catch, Dr. J!
Thank you very much UYMike. It was in the 90's when I photographed them but stood there for 20+ minutes watching them.... and shooting.

Splendid! Amazing how much a simple photo can say.
Thank you and you just nailed it. It was them, not me; just an observer with a camera, but had a 500mm lens so they didn't appear threatened going about there usual interaction. They said so much during the 20 minutes I watched and shot.
Thanks again.... nature is so special if we just stopped and watched (which I didn't do much for the first 60 years of my life). :-(.... a thing called work.

Adorable catch.
Thank you NMGal! I am smiling as the first word from my wife and several ladies have also said "adorable!" - no guys! You are the first lady from NM, though!
