TWO SANDIE FAMILIES AT MILLER ISLAND!
Nancy and I spotted six adult and four chicks today at Miller Island.
We confirmed that there are two families with chicks. It appears that one of the sets of chicks is about two weeks older than the other.

What about the Aura around the youngest chicks? It's the sun shining through the Down that will be their feathers. The other chicks' feathers seem to be in their early development, therefore a little older.
We will continue to monitor their development for the remainder of the summer.
We feel so blessed to be here to witness all this wonderful nature.

We went on to LKNWR and saw many other creatures: White Pelicans, Eared Grebes, Ruddy Ducks (they were in full colorful mating plumage), a close up Coyote, and three Mule Deer Bucks, just to name a few.

Love your wonderful pictures of the wild life around the areea. Makes us feel like we went along for the ride. Found the picture of the coyote especially informative since often person around have assured me they are here but few have actually sseen them but this now proves their here. Ray
