Breakfast for peachicks! Chow time before 7am on Monday outside the Arboretum's main entrance. Amazing how the coloring of the four babies camouflaged them as they foraged for food with their watchful mama peahen.

We haven't seen many peachicks at the LAArboretum this season. So we were thrilled to catch a quick glimpse of this peahen with her four babies. Mom was cautiously checking out the scene while her adorable peachicks watched patiently on the ledge. That did they do next?
