Killdeer Family

I have been watching this nest for the last several weeks and happened to be on hand the day the eggs hatched. I came back the next day in morning light to film them. These offspring are about a day old and ready to fend for themselves but still like to stay warm under mother's wing. Does this sound familiar?
