6:12 am EST and little sumo is getting his breakfast. He was dozing a few minutes ago and then mom hopped off to go get the food which immmediately woke up sumo and he/she looked adorable standing in the sunshine. I love how the second mom leaves, he wakes up! She went off and got his breakfast and now it's feeding time!
Pchemist:
well, that is just hilarious! ;D ::)
Alison:
The big chick this evening. He/she was fed, then tried to fit under Mom.
Alison:
Wow, I wasn't online for two days, and I missed so much! I watched the cam a little earlier and everything looked fine, so I was really surprised when I started reading all the posts here and found out what had happened! Sorry I wasn't around, but since my own computer is down I have been posting from an Internet cafe on the weekends; their server was down all weekend, so the place was closed until tonight.
I'm glad the chick and the parents are all fine. Mom and chick looked so stressed in the first two videos (still have one to watch). I wonder who the intruder was.
Will post pics if I can. Only one terminal here has Photoshop, and someone else has the nerve to be using it! :)

I can't open it at home...well unless I download reader but it's probably over my head anyway ::)

The report reports on contaminant levels in a variety of bird species and looks at an number of the current contaminants in question - PCBs, fire retardant, etc. I made a quick breeze through and they don't seem to make conclusion re: reproductive success, just looked at the trends - expected and observed - in the contaminant levels. Hopefully I will get a chance to look at in more depth soon - if I find anything else I think might be of interest I will post it here.
