ps: Thanks to kittenface for the tip to the above link with photos..typing too fast and tired..   

Time for bed for me.  I hope things work out here, I really do.

carly:
Ok she's definitely an experienced mom.  Last year they had 5 eggs and only 2 hatched so this is not unusual for these 2.  Just have to hope the other eggs will be ok and they have a few successful hatches.

I'd recommend not watching anymore, it will be a miracle if that little one survives the night if she doesn't get up and tuck it under her brood patch.

carly:
Yeah I saw her get up but the chick is still out in the open partially and going down to 3 degrees there. 

I'm searching on pair history now: so far the dad Brent is new, only his second season there.  She's been there a few years and I think she's about 10 years old or so they said.  I will keep searching on the net for more info.

allikat:
I don't know why I do this to myself...Mom is at least realizing that the chick isn't covered most likely because it's chirping its beak off to say, UM, I'm cold, can you cover me up please?
Again..unless there is something we don't know.
Is this a young pair?

carly:
Well according to their site where Nora just posted, it was dad who left the chick laying there in the cold and then mom came in and movedit over and partially covered it..they have shots here:
