the video I see shows a windblown peregrine in what I would think is a brooding stance with a eggshell in front.

That egg just hatched and mom doesn't seem to know what to do.  she is just looking at it.  Come on Mom. At least that is the picture that I am seeing. I will have to investigate this live versus picture mystery.

Maggie, I poked through another site very quickly on last years posts about this couple and they only had 2 hatch out of 5 eggs.  There was alot of commentary about the male here and his challenges in looking after the eggs but it seemed to be said in humourous tones - no dire commentary. Perhaps he is young and not experienced.

Maybe if Alison drops by she can give us accurate information as she is more familiar with these sites.

Yes I keep looking at the pip in that egg and my heart breaks.  From what I read on other sites, the father didn't cover it properly during a shift change so it seems it wasn't pushed aside intentionally.  he missed it and then mom came in looked at it and left it there.  That's just second hand info so not sure of accuracy of that.

Still waiting for her to move to see if chick is really there and is okay.

Good to know that mom fed the chick.  She/he is very restless now and keeps looking down.  It is very strange that they seem to have abandoned that egg up front that has a big pip in it. Or is that the shell from the hatch?  I am really sorry that things are not going smoothly here. Yesterday I thought that we were going to see 5 happy hatches.

Ok I've got the cam up now and it's clear.  Saw photo on another site of mom feeding the chick so that is good!  They are moving the cam around right now looking for something.

Went back and had a look at the photos, can't tell it there is a problem with the chick and that is why the adult isn't bothering or not.   Will have a look in the morning though ...

Cam is out for me now too.  I know it's nature but don't need to watch.  would like to know though if parents do that if they suspect something is wrong with the chick.
