Ardea piveteaui Chick
Ardea piveteaui (chick)
This downy chick would have remained in a nest near freshwater marshes, lakes, or wooded wetland edges. It was likely fed regurgitated fish, insects, and other small aquatic prey by its parents. Before its flight feathers developed, it could defend itself with sharp pecks and hissing displays. Its long legs would have helped it balance and move around the nest as it grew.
