Long-billedCurlew older chick in Otero Co,,CO family
Info Post
This is a composite of two short video clips of the older chick in the Long-billed Curlew family I have been following in Otero County, CO. This chick is loafing, looking around, first in a closer lowland area then on top of a hill--meanwhile the adult female forages nearby while the adult male and the younger chick forage across the road. Like the younger chick, it is more pinkish than the adults and appears to lack the dark crown stripes found on the adult birds. It's bill is almost as long as the adult male's bill. In the first section of this clip dragonflies can be seen in blurry silhouette flying in front of the camcorder. Towards the end of the video a smaller bird flies between the curlew and the camcorder. SeEtta
