How on earth did he/she get down there  :o
Come on Momma or Papa..leave the eggs alone...so now what?  I guess they will tend to the chick on the ground  ::)

Oh no!  I see the chick on the side out of the box and kdjfkdj I thought she was over the eggs already  :-X :-X

The chick is too small to get back in on his own and she should be focusing on him/her not those eggs...*sigh*...peregrines... :-\

The parent was sitting on the eggs and there was no sign of the chick.  Then the parent jumped off the eggs and went behing the box with the stones and eggs and he/she was pushing the little chick from in behind and along the side.  The chick is so cute. Now the chick has gone in the space of the step that goes up to the box.  I sure hope he/she does not get stuck in there.  If she did would there be someone who could help get he/her out. The parent is bac sitting on those eggs that I am sure are never going to hatch.  Chick is out now and between the wall and the nest box. I love watching all these chicks but it just stresses me out.

The chick is now attempting to walk around in the nest box. He/she is somewhat unstable at the moment, but extremely cute.

Mom has finally given up incubating those other 3 eggs, they are scattered in the box this morning and she's snuggled up with her chick !

It almost looks like she has 2 chicks under her...one big beauty for sure  :-*

And they are right...he/she is absolutely priceless.   Who can resist a little white fluff-ball?  NOT ME  :P

This lone chick is so cute!  I'm so happy for this pair, even though only one hatched, as TPC wrote about a pair bonding earlier, this pair has produced a chick and that will make their bond stronger.
