Great video RCF!!!

Must of had a massive downpour for the nestbox to fill up with water that quickly. 
Maybe a slight tilt and more drainage holes to the nestbox might do the trick?!
All looks great!!! 
Thanks RCF!

Hurricane just left. The kids look fine, maybe a little wet that's all.

I can't believe the amount of water in the nestbox!

There are about five posts on the CBC comment page about the water in the box. Probably some of the drain holes in the box are plugged.

I just wonder how long the wee ones will be able to stay upright.  Looks like the parent is trying their best to keep them that way, but.....

that's a lot of water in the nest box, hopefully the chicks are old enough to weather the rain storm
