Video clip of Long-billed Curlew chick

In this video clip the Long-billed Curlew chick is foraging in some nice short-grass prairie in northern Otero County, CO. The bird is 250-300 feet away so even using the full 40 power optical zoom on my camcorder, it is still fairly small. Unfortunately I have only very basic editing software so you hear the rasot sound of the wind in much of the clip. The adult female, with her very long bill, comes into the video and forages in the vicinity of the chick for a brief period. This provides a good opportunity to compare the two. SeEtta
