Eastern Curlew Chick
Numenius madagascariensis (chick)
Newly hatched chicks are downy, long-legged, and able to leave the nest soon after hatching. They shelter in low vegetation on breeding grounds in northeastern Asia, freezing or crouching to avoid detection. Chicks feed themselves on small insects and other invertebrates while remaining dependent on parental guarding and warmth.
