Flying Piping Plover chick, 15 June 10, Mlf Pt

While reviewing video shot today at Milford Point of the 4 chicks, I came across a video that shows what seems to be the largest chick actually flying. This might be the solution to a mystery: how a nest with only 3 hatched eggs produced 4 chicks.


Here's another view of the largest Piping Plover chick (the one just to the left of the adult) in a video taken at the same time as the one above and in the video of wing stretching.
