 On another site they seem to think she's going to drown by falling into the water so not sure if they know something we don't.  I expect if she were in danger though that mom or dad would have flown in to the rescue by now...I"ll keep monitoring the sites.  The biologists apparently have been notified that she went over the side.

Edit:  Hah...there she is, must be a set of stair, she just popped up!!

Now she is totally out of site...That Sumo (insert pumping my fist at her)
Hope she's okay..If I were her I would be happier up by the box to look out into the world, but hey, what do I know  ???

Well I went out for an hour to check on my crew and came back to learn that little sumo jumped off the side earlier.  She went down the stairs to the side apparently as was seen by several observers.  Hopefully she's okay down there!

What a little sweetie lying on her belly on the step. She's just too cute.

Glad little sumo made it back into the box, when I went to bed it was just mom there in the dark!

This morning sumo is on the big rock looking around, saw a ship I think earlier in the distance!  She looks darker this morning, she's growing up!

1127 hrs (CDT) - can't see Mom on either image but lower image is so dark she could be there and I wouldn't be able to tell.  Little Sumo is asleep back on the nest-tray - front right corner.

Little sumo on her own tonight, no mom for the first time to sleep next too.  She's out by the platform in the dark all alone :-\

1142 hrs (CDT) - looks like Sumo, or a corner of Sumo, in the extreme bottom left corner of the nestbox cam image.  Can't see anything  however (well, except on of the adults on the perch out front) on the wide-wide-world image ...
