Default Field beans getting nipped off at base of stalk


Planted some field beans in late October. About half of them have been
(apparently) nipped off at ground level (apparently) when they were
between 1" and 2" tall. Almost every day, I go out to my small
vegetable patch and find another one destroyed in the same way, lying
on it's side, detached from its roots. Anyone know what would have
done that? Birds? Slugs?

TIA!
