Did you see that???  She went down behind the box and pulled the chick out to the side..lol...she's trying to get it up to her but cant' figure out how to do it. 

Get off those eggs and go to the front and show her the stairs!!

Good point Carly!
Plus, I'm sure they are still on edge due to the intruder.  Why cause more stress...Maybe the chick will find a way to get to the front so the mom/dad can protect he/her there.

I'm with you on that allikat!  I wonder though if they are hesitant because the falcons may think it's the humans fault for stealing the eggs that they didn't hatch ...you know what i mean?  Then they may not come back next year or worse they may rush and fledge the chick before it's ready just to get out of there.  I expect in 2 weeks or less they will go in to band the chick and then remove them then.  Let's hope the storm tonight is not a bad one and little one can keep dry back there.

It's so hard to watch..yet I still watch.  You just feel helpless.  I'm very happy that the chick finally got some food.  I still think someone should come in and take those eggs away.

Too bad the chick couldn't figure out how to go to the front of the box so mom could protect him/her.

YES YES YES....we have a feeding.  WOO HOO!!!
Now all they need to do is figure out how to get the chick back in the box so mom/dad can keep he/her warm at night.

Wing the Deputy Biologist posted awhile ago asking people to keep an eye on whether the chick gets fed or not so we know he's watching at least.  Someone just posted there that no way they will let anything happen to our chick and they will intervene if it comes to it.

The person who posted may be on Pacific time which is about 5 hours behind I think?   The posts there don't time stamp, instead they say, posted 15 minutes ago, posted 56 minutes ago...etc...

I think you're right Moonstar...I think Mom was trying to help out but she can't fit along the sides..  I shouldn't of written attacked.. (it just looked like it, but I'm sure it was because she was stressed that her baby was down there and that she can't fit). So, this was all accidental but still, not sure what's going to happen here now.  The chick, I don't think will be able to get back up there. 

I was hoping that is what had happened because I just can't believe that the Mom or Dad would deliberatly do that to their chick because they have the maternal instinct to protect and provide for their chicks.

It's 3:21 pm over there right now.  That's an awefully long time for a chick to go without food.   :(

Well that makes sense why there are all these dark feathers around. 
When I watch this cam, you can see the chick calling to the parent and the parent responds and goes to the chick but immediately returns to the eggs.  This little one must be extremely hungry and that's why it keeps calling out.  I hope someone gets down there to remove those eggs and do something to help this family out.  This is only causing more stress for the birds especially after an intruder was, from the sounds of it, way too close for comfort.
