Killdeer chicks facts: Baby birds that hatch with their running shoes on are called precocial. Precocial means "ripened beforehand." (The word comes from the same Latin source as "precocious.")
What an incredible post, with interesting content and stunning photos! Those little ones are just too cute, right down to their fuzzy little wings. And that shot of that baby running--precious!
Oh my gosh! They are so adorable. It's funny you should post Killdeer photos - I just saw one yesterday on a pond outside of town - no babies yet though.
