A couple of the coot nests on the park pond had chicks, spent a while sitting in the sun watching the parents feed and protect on one. Few more photos on Flickr.

First Hawthorn 2021 for me. Hallelujah

In a reflective mood.
The dabchicks we have been watching in the park have abandoned their nest. My wife watched coots tear bits of the nest while the dabchicks splash-surfaced to try and scare them. A few hours later they had left. Still swimming around the pond, we hope they try another site.
Strange light in the park tonight. Strong sunlight and heavy clouds.
The dabchick seem to be off to a good start this year, this nest looks a lot more substantial than the ones they were building at this time last year.
Watched this wee guy going back and forth with nesting material this morning.
