Long-billed Curlew Chick exercising it's wings video clip

This Long-billed Curlew chick in northern Otero County, CO exercises it's wings in two episodes as it practices for future flight. After the second flapping the adult female comes in from the left. One or both parents stayed within a hundred or so feet of the chick the whole time I watched. See a somewhat larger video clip by double-clicking on this clip to go to the YouTube viewing. SeEtta
