Piping Plover chick foraging - video - Nickerson Beach, NY

Slow-motion video of a week old Piping Plover chick running and catching insects on the beach:

As you can see, these little birds don’t stay still for long 🙈 Tracking it and keeping it in focus wasn’t easy😁

First part of this video is displayed at normal speed, where the second part is slowed down as much as 4 times. My favorite part of this clip is the moment when this chicks jumps up as it is startled by a small fly🤣

I hope you liked it!
