YW, barb! Have been away for awhile, but will keep checking in throughout the day to try and catch Mom and Dad on cam. When I was here earlier, I did notice the chick had a crop and I thought it may have been fed prior to the implosion that I did not see. The crop did not have that deflated look you see after the overnight and not being fed yet. Come on Mom and Dad, we want to see that you all are okay!!

:1val: They have brought the cam in for a closer view of nest box. Still have not seen Mom or Dad when checking in at intervals.

:1val: Chick is wanting to eat. It picked up a scrap from floor a couple times and then Mom returned and took that piece of scrap and tried to offer it to the chick. Chick did eventually take that piece I think. Saw it take from her beak and swallow. Going back and forth between cam and posting. Mom has left again and maybe she will be back in awhile with something to eat. Now if Dad would just check in ...

:1val: Mom's back again and went into the nest and is standing by chick in right corner. And left again after a short visit. Mom returns 1131 real time (timestamp off by several minutes) to nest. Chick is snipping on Mom's feathers. Mom stood on the lip of nest for awhile and up to the parapet and out of sight at 1139. From observing the chick this morning, there are times I think it is curious of the area just outside the box and maybe thinking about exploring that. Not sure if it is capable of getting over the lip of the nest box just yet though. Mom returned at 1148 to the nest. COD came on and when cleared, Mom was gone too.

:dancingegg: Dad!! I just saw Dad land on the parapet near the building!! He went toward the nest and I came out to post and when I went back in I had the COD and when it cleared, Mom was in the nest. But it was CLEARLY Dad that I caught glimpses of with his solid white chest and golden-orange cere and talons. He is flying and walking and is okay!!

(I actually posted this at Hog Island and it took me a few minutes to recognize my mistake. Now I am going to my car for a much deserved break! Cheers!!)

Mom came in shortly after Dad. I thought she had found some leftovers, but nope...rocks again. She tried several times to feed one to the munchkin...

I really couldn't tell if she ate any ...but, sure looked like she did!!

:1val:Sky, I saw Dad feed the chick pebbles a few days ago that it did take some of and spit out one at the end. I changed my post above to indicate golden-orange cere, not beak. Realized I had posted beak not cere when I was taking my break. Another one of those mistakes that pops into your head suddenly. I waited to take my break when I saw on TV it was 8 minutes to lift off. Had to wait for that. When they got to the 10 second countdown, I tried to fight off tears, but at lift off it didn't work. Those countdowns always take me back to the 60's. When they landed on the moon in 69, my Daddy brought our TV out into the backyard, because it was so hot in Kentucky that evening. And after they landed I never will forget him grabbing my hand and taking me out into the street away from the trees in the yard to point out the moon to me and how much it meant that they had ACTUALLY landed on the moon and that a man was standing on it at that very moment!! I also remember John Glenn orbiting earth in the early 60's. My Daddy was a big fan of the space program! And so am I! :eggthumb:

dinner with Dad is currently going on!!

Edit to add pics.

Prior to the feed. I obviously missed a feed..LOL...look at that crop.


Image

Before feeding, dad gave a lesson in defeathering...then a few "baby" bites. I really don't think the chick was hungry...

A few minutes after Dad left, Munchkin found some leftovers. Mom was down in a nano second. I think she came from the top of the cam.

Kinda reminded me of a human parent who rushes to the baby to see what its putting in its mouth..

Baby swallowed it...LOL

Image

Mom decided it was ok...and left.

:1val: Feed in progress by Mom. It's a fresh meal! When finished Mom came out of the box with blood on her head and the remains and straight toward the cam again. She may be stashing nearby.
