Baby Birdorable: Northern Lapwing

If you think our Birdorable birds are cute as adults, what about when they are babies? Below are some baby photos (shared via Flickr) of the Northern Lapwing.

In the Netherlands province of Friesland there is a long-standing tradition of collecting the first Northern Lapwing egg. Prohibited by the EU, the harvesting of eggs finally stopped in 2006, although the first eggs are still sought. Since 1900 the discovery of the first egg has trended earlier and earlier; here is a chart showing the trend. The page is in Dutch, but the second graph of the page shows the day of the year when the egg has been found since 1900. The first chart shows the median year temperature.

On a lighter note, Northern Lapwings are also known as Peewits. Could we then call the chicks Peewitlings? Okay, on to the cute photos!!
