They had black and orange beaks, and small beady eyes. Their chest was as white as the snow surrounding them. There were thousands of them. Some of them were diving into the freezing water and the others were just waddling around. I was enchanted. I started walking between them. One baby chick shuffled over to me. I reached down to pet him. He seemed to like it. His mom didn’t. Spread 6: Page 10 Angry, black eyes stared into my face. I quickly jerked away. The chick’s mother seemed furious.
