There they are! My first look at these little cuties.

Two weekends ago on my visit they insisted on staying hunkered down and out of sight. When I first arrived this past Sunday, it appeared they were going to do the same as there was no sign of them.

Feeling a bit frustrated, I kept walking, looking for other subjects to photograph hoping that when I returned, they would have moved into view. Thankfully they did!

As you can tell, they were well-aware of my presence and quite curious. The back one only let me see it briefly while the one in front was more accommodating, giving me a bunch of solo captures. Mom stood watch nearby, ensuring they were safe. I did not see dad but you can be sure he was watching from some hiding place as well.
