I saw her try a few times in a row as I'm sure the chick was crying out to her.  She tried to grab the chick's beak to pull it up...so I'm guessing, that how it happened?  WOW...either way..amazing!  I feel so much better knowing that the chick can snuggle up to mom.  Just snuggle though  :P

she just grabbed and pulled the baby up .... it happened very fast .... i couldn't believe it.  i'm pretty sure the baby would have almost crapped it's self.

I've never seen anything in my life like that...seriously, a small baby yes, our mom picked them up and moved them all the time but at this size from the bottom and all the way up like that at her size ..no way..wow...no wonder they wear helmets and bring shields when they go band.  Fierce!!!

I can't believe I missed that.  What dedication.  Okay Mom and chick, now you can relax.  Snuggle up to each other but let you chick breathe.  You can't cover all of your baby. ;)

Yes, I can see she is still on the eggs .  I think without the chick there her other instinct has kicked back in????
but I think this area looks very well protected and maybe the biologists will help out tomorrow.I do not hear any sound????

I think today would have not been good because they are both stressed.

I really think everything will be O.K.

If this storm hits...I'm hoping that the chick will go to the back area tucked away.  The mom just can't fit down there, she's too big as she's tried.  They are both stressed and I'm sure she can hear it in her chick's calls up to her.  Come on little one...you can hold on until you and mom figure things out.

It's more that mom refuses to stop incubating the eggs Bev.  There is no need for this, mom can go down there and cuddle with her.  The poor chick is scared and lonely.  Look at her snuggling the side fo the box.  There is also a storm going to hit there tonight which is why people are concerned.  Rain, winds and cold so no doubt chick will be scared.

I thought maybe mom had a good grip on the chick at one point as I saw the chick being lifted.  Come on little one, just move to the front and then hopefully mom will realize that she has to cover you, not the eggs.

I can't help it...I keep this cam open on my screen.  I just want to go and get this little one. 
The Mom keeps going over there to touch beaks with her baby and went down to see him/her and struggled to get back up into the box.  I hope this baby can keep warm overnight. 
Come on little guy/girl, you can do it, keep warm...mommy keeps going over to the chick, poor little one  :'(
