Spoon-billed Sandpiper: Hatch
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ก.ย. 2012
- Spoon-billed Sandpipers lay 4 eggs in a simple tundra nest comprised of a shallow depression, most often in mosses, lined with a few dwarf willow leaves. The nest is incubated by both adults on half-day shifts -- the male most often during the day and the female at night. After 21 days of incubation the eggs begin to hatch in a process that takes a day or more to complete. When the young finally emerge from the nest they stumble about on well-developed legs and feet and begin to feed themselves. After the last chick emerges, the male begins his job of leading the chicks as they grow towards independence about 20 days later; the female soon departs and begins moving south. This piece captures the first moments of life at a wind swept Spoon-billed Sandpiper nest.
Video includes commentary by The Cornell Lab's Gerrit Vyn.
Filmed July 7, 2011 near Meinypilgyno, Chukotka, Russia.

I see a number of "dislikes". Geez folks, until you've experienced these precious birds, and, learned about their plight and realize how any and all public awareness (like this you tube video) helps their survival. Experiencing these beautiful creatures a couple years ago was a cherished moment in my life !.
What lovely footage of such beautiful animals. Thank you for so eloquently bringing the spoon-billed sandpipers to the world!
thank you for this film, love the spoon-billed sandpiper:
You need to do more of this absolutely stunning wildlife documentation really
The cryptic coloring...the vocalizations...Lovely. Can't fathom what kind of ignoramus would thumbs-down this.
Seconded 100%.
Thanks for shearing this wonderful documentary, participated losers of shorebird survey particularly for Spoon-billed Sandpiper but never saw this amazing bird on the nest or breading plumage.
What a great informational, observational account of sandpiper hatching/parenting!!! Evolution at work here, wonderful video, wonderful narrating, and THANK YOU for doing this work!!!
I like the blind construction. And the receded vocalizations complete this wonderful experience!
Wow! What beautiful creatures...and a great story about an animal dad taking care of raising the babies once they have all hatched. Thank you for being so dedicated and patient. Amazing.
Beautiful birds, beautiful video. Your videos are an oasis of beauty and peace in my life. Thanks.
Once I saw the chicks I screamed. So precious.
What a delight! Thank you to the wise and patient photographer! I'm so pleased the father reappeared and that there is hope for the species.

What a wonderful world in which we live. Wish we could see it in person. Thanks.
Yes, I was wondering this myself as I listened to the narration. I hope the lab responds. :)
This was a wonderful gift, to see this film. The mother and chicks are so beautiful, and watching how the mother looks out for them is so touching. Thank you!
Waw teeny lil beauties! And their down is like exactly matching the grasses with matching fringes of the moss type plants! So amazing.
Superb, so comforting to see chicks of this absolute rarity.
Absolutely wonderful, the supreme beauty of Mother Nature and a truly amazing work.. thank you so much!♥

Thanks to Gerrit for these fascinating and informative videos. I never heard about these wonderful birds. Never to old to learn!
Beautiful! So lucky are we to see this - even if from afar.
Worderfull footage of this rare Sandpiper
Thank you for having the patience and dedication to record these events and bring them to us!
Thanks for spending all that time filming, I'm very glad that I got to see these little guys before they become extinct, which HOPEFULLY they will not.
Amazing to watch hatchlings forage for food immediately after hatching. We need to protect these wonderful birds!
Great video. Great dedication by the biologist. Incredibly rare bird. I hope they can make a comeback. Awesome stuff. I'm no expert, but I hadn't heard of a bird that only stayed in the nest one day and fed itself from the moment he was born. Wow!
James, Kildeers are also "precocious". So fun to watch in my yard!
Cutest. Birds. Ever.
I can"t believe that they feed themselves from day one!!
Great birds, the film really is informative in adition to being bueatifully filmed.
Such amazingly specialized and enduring creatures, these Spoon-billed Sandpipers, besides being utterly charming! I love their sounds, communicating.
fascinating and delightful video, thanks so much
Amazing. Let's hope this bird will do better in the future.

Wonderful birds, and an amazing video. It's a privilege to watch it. Thank you.

Yes, you heard right. The female leaves and the male stays behind for a few days. Then the male leaves the chicks by themselves. Then they fly south along the flyway.
