Mlf Pt, 13 July 10, 2 chicks

Two of the group of six chicks that were tended by 3-4 adults near the first exclosure and the east water's edge on 13 July 10. Another pair of chicks were tended by two adults past the second exclosure. All of the chicks mixed freely with about 100 Semipalmated Sandpipers.

In this video, also at the Mlf Pt spit on 13 July, notice that one chick is larger than the other, which is usual for siblings and is usually based on birth order. All of the chicks on the spit are now older than 2 weeks, so they are all quite mobile.
