Time for some adorableness. ๐Ÿฅฐ ๐Ÿ˜˜

This is a piping plover on the beach standing guard over her two chicks. They are TINY.

Edit: I am informed by @Avloky that she is being a "Mombrella," shielding her babies from the sun and other weather. A perfect description! ๐Ÿ–๏ธ

@Soror_Peregrina
That's called a "Mombrella". It's good for both rain and sun!

Oh, me, too! Those wee sleepy fuzzballs. Mom's big eyes, beautiful face, and protective stance. Seeing this, how can you not fall in love with birds? ๐Ÿค ๐ŸคŽ ๐Ÿงก ๐Ÿ–ค

@Soror_Peregrina the only similar thing i know is when anxious dogs stand between your legs like this to feel protected and that's the best! โ˜บ๏ธ @Avloky

@Soror_Peregrina @gannet @Avloky Little fuzzy golf balls with legs.
To protect them from predators, mom likes to hide the eggs and chicks in indentations in the sand near the beach.
This works great for predators. Not so great when the indentations are tire tracks.
