I just watched the video of Mom pulling her chick up...WOW!!!
And no, I don't think Mom injured her chick at all.  The yellow spots is most likely from all the poop when the chick was on the floor next to the box. 
Perhaps a nestbox of that height isn't a great idea. 
I wonder if Alison or Carly or TPC could suggest something different for next year.  I realize that the Mom shouldn't be trying to get the chick of that size under her, but we learn new things every day and learn different behavior from each peregrine. 
I'm releaved that all is calm in Maine and chick is back with Mom.

 if you go into this link on Maine forum you will get to link of the video of mom pulling chick up and then trying to get her under her.

Mom is not hurting her, she just wants to take care of her. Much like S2 in 2007 when she finally decided to feed  Faith and Hope. and those chicks were huge and we jsut howled as she tried to sit on the 2 of them.

I was not sure if I was allowed to post video here so I jsut posted link to Maine forum. It will play, you just have to click on start button a few times. Be patient :) :)
the video is part way down the page on the  Maine Forum. It was posted by Sherri

Mom and chick doing well this morning.  Chick is under mom but she's figured out she needs to stand now...can't squash the baby!!  I saw some screen shots a girl posted on the bril site earlier this morning and she/he got a feeding and looks good this morning.  It's funny in one series, when dad comes in with food..he is clearly puzzled and drops the food and goes over to the side of the box..looks down, looks at the chick..like he can't figure out how it got up.  He even went to the back of the box and looked down...lol...!

Let's hope mom stays focused on the chick today and doesn't get sucked back into the 'egg' void again..those tussles were scary yesterday.

I just got home and went straight to the Maine site.  Saw that it looked like the chick was with Mom.  So happy.  Then I came here to read the posts.  Hopefully the chick is okay. I am sure the chick feels much better to be with Mom again.

Ok well Patti over at BCAW posted the pic and lightened it and they don't think it's anything serious.  I'm off to bed, it's been quite a day.  And I have to get up early to see Rebecca and how she's doing, this chick and our GRE mom might have a chick or two for us to 'awww' over  ;)

Hope the chick is okay...I'm sure it's quite content being with mom right now.  Who knows though when this little nip happened.  Could of happened when the chick fell out, when the mom went down to comfort the chick several times, or maybe its just stuff from whatever is on the sides of the nestbox.  I guess I'm just trying to remain positive.  Let's hope all is okay with the little one and they both feel less stressed now that they are together again.

Well the photo looks blury to me so I can't tell, another is saying it looks like a little nip on the skin under the eye.  I'll see if he posts the video.  I'm sure if the chick was hurt she'd be comforting it and both look content now.  She might have nicked it a bit, she's got a wicked beak.

Edit: Ok I think I see what they mean now, everyone but me saw it..go figure.  There is what looks like a yellow blib on the side of the head..no blood or anything, nothing open like a cut. Not much we can do now as it's too dark to see anything  :'(

Waiting to see if he posts the recording.
