Green Heron downey chicks-USA & Central America

LOL!! Good description Monica!! Thanks.

Ohhhhhh Rob their absolutely gorgeous! Their wings look like white feathered palm fronds! These are so cool thanks again, these are beautiful specimens of Herons!

Thanks Gene - just give them a few weeks!
Thanks for commenting talia!

Ooooh, what original Herons. I never see such one. Thanks

Manny, Moe, and Jack over Curley, Moe and Larry????? Oh alright, they are in a Pep Boys pose, Tex :-)

Best word for these is ugly LOL they will become beautiful if they survive but now....UGLY ....LOL

Thanks Cathy - pleased you liked them!

Gangly is a good word for these! Thanks Robryan! Great puzzle.

They looks like gangly kids before they grow into their adult shape - thanks Gladstone!
I have a photo of slightly older ones to post tomorrow so you can see how they change warbler. Thanks.
LOL! Thanks tex!

My dad would say they're "green at the gills"! And Warbler, I like Manny, Moe & Jack (Pep Boys) better! They are precious, though. Thanks, RR.

Larry, Moe, and Curley? We have a pair that nest somewhere out behind my house by one of the beaver dams but I've never found the nest. But I've always looked in the trees, like a Great Blue Heron nest would be. These guys are on the ground in a nest. It looks like they have green skin. Very cool, Rob.

Look how long their wings are, Wow!

And with three to feed they'd be going non-stop I guess!! Thanks pg.

They are just in great shape for their age. Mom and dad are working their butts of trying to feed these chicks.

It's a bit hard to tell loveydear - I guess none of them are ever chubby chicks.

They look almost starved to death.

They sure do lyndee - thanks.
A bit like the Ugly Ducklings - I think chookie :)) Thanks.

Ha, ha, they look funny half dressed, don't they?

Oh My.......they have a lot of changes to make to get as pretty as Mama!
