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.

Thanks Bev, now that we know the outcome, it wasn't so hard to watch There was a video of it being knocked out also.

Ok..maybe not...
bev.:
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
