Day old hatchling calling for it's mama.
Observation details
Walked right up on a hen. I saw her look up at me but then put her head back down to hide. So I crept up slowly to try and get a really close photo. I got to within about 8-10 feet from her and began wondering if she might be injured. No... not injured, but hiding her babies. She suddenly jumped up and charged me -- hatchlings are now running and peeping. Mother hen was running circles around me and trying to lead me away. I left them alone but managed to get an audio recording of one of the peepers first.
