No, sorry I think a Curlew, Curlew babies.
greetings Aafke

Aafke is correct again..Curlew Chicks indeed.  clap thumbsup

Funny thing re this one... here was I, saying to myself that the bill is not decurved, so Curlew is obviously wrong. Well! Haha on me again! AND... don't I hit another site and there is that very photo! ID'd as Curlew chicks - so of course I could not play. (At least that's my story...)

Yes I understand, it's funny that the babies have such a short bill, but it's longer than most water/shorebirds so it has to be a avocet or a curlew. And I was sure it was no Avocet.

That's very fair of you Bobby not to sent the name after you saw the picture!

It looks like a Mourning Dove shape to me.  Big body, little head.  The only thing missing is the long tail.  Hmmmmm.

Sounds like you are describing me, Carol! Except for the tail, but maybe I should check...
