I have made many films to confirm the presence of the chick
but I have nothing to show, for confirmation.

Any evidence of a feed? I have had the cam up since about 8:30 eastern time...and there has been no food brought in. Mom has done a lot of scrunching and moving and picking...but, unless there is a feed, there probably isn't a chick...unless they are both clueless as to what to do. I guess that's possible.

The box has been unattended for the past 30 min. A parent has just returned. I was away and could have missed something during that time. Unfortunately, I didn't have the recorder on the nest because I was recording elsewhere.

2.00 pm Change . Male arrived, sits down carefully, but maybe it's a chick,

So confusing...

Prior to leaving, she was tracking him or something in the sky..

He lands almost immediately

Goes to the box...finds nobody home

...and leaves..

Nobody there now.

I would like to think they just got their signals crossed and he was bringing her a snack vs there being a starving chick in the box.

That may've been what happened a week ago.
He brot prey to her for her
She left without it
he followed her
came back later without prey

I see no sign of a hatch

I will not be able to watch today. Hopefully something positive will happen.

I watched a lot. I do not see the behavior of the parents was a child

Thanks loza!!!

I've checked several times this morning, but nothing going on.

Unfortunately, I can't watch anymore until this evening.

I wonder if we could be off on the egg thing.
I have been watching now for a couple hours and whoever it is in the box is doing
the picking at the pebble thing, and turning & scooching.
