White Breasted Waterhen chicks!

For some reason, it always seems easier to find the adult version of an animal than the kids. Maybe it's because they tend to be adults for most of their lives and are hidden away and protected as kids. Well, whatever the reason, I was extremely fortunate today to come across White Breasted Waterhen Chicks. That's right. I saw the babies. Too a video too since the chicks are all blurry on camera.


Got a picture of the parent and one of the chicks here. There are several.

And here's the video. I got interrupted by some people at the end. To be fair, I was blocking the path. Oops.
