My goodness, am I glad that I missed all of this. although I did open the cam and see an adult lying down in the box and thought the baby was just in the corner. Thanks to all who help save the little thing. And poor Durand. :girlsad3:

Now how in the world does a chick get stuck here, AGAIN?

I am soooo glad to hear that baby has been rescued. Thank you to everyone who had a part in this rescue! :thanku

I'm late posting, but I came to the computer earlier to see if baby had someone made it back into the box before dark & saw the great news! :hapdance:

It's a wonderful new day at the Columbus nest! I just logged in to see baby getting fed breakfast by Durand, and I couldn't be happier. I'm sure baby couldn't be happier too!

Baby looks pretty content right now . . . just a couple of peeps every now and then.

Self-imposed timeout for causing so much worry & getting to meet Aunt Donna on a dark ledge. :sum8:

I am so happy he is okay and back in the box. :dancingegg:

Wow, what an eventful day yesterday! Sort of glad I missed it live, and so very happy that some brave and kind soul came to the rescue of this little adventurer. :girlyes:

2 Weeks Old

Here's a nice photo of the chick and Durand from Sunday, just about 2 weeks of age. I know I state this often, but again, it is simply amazing how fast it grows! Also noticeable in this photo is the protruding crop - evidence of a good meal.

The naming poll is now closed and the winner is...Zoom! Thanks to all of the students who submitted names and the over 3,500 people who voted!!! The banding is scheduled for Tuesday, May 21st at 10 a.m. and will be shown over the live stream. We will let you know which feed (ledge or nestbox) when we get the details worked out.

Yesterday afternoon the chick ventured out of the nestbox and was out of sight of the adults. This confused Durand and to compensate she went back into incubation mode and even offered food to the eggs! This peculiar change in the adult's behavior continued into the evening. Even though the chick was not in any danger, we made the decision to put the chick back in the box late last evening due to the cool overnight temperatures. All seems very "normal" this morning.

Wonder where it was stuck?

I wonder if he fell off the porch and walked all the way around the box? She keeps looking back in that spot near the main/nest cam.

And Durand getting on the eggs...I think that's her way of dealing with this stress.

I agree with you.

Afternoon feeding going on! Zoom has mostly been just laying in the corner all morning.

PeSSouZiX · **Posted:** Tue May 14, 2013 1:18 pm

But then... Zoom was not in trouble but only "hidden"? Oo
He would have remained in his corner without trying to get closer to Mom?

Anowlwithknees · **Posted:** Tue May 14, 2013 2:29 pm

Little Zoom was poking around the box, good sized crop already then...a feed!

Anowlwithknees · **Posted:** Tue May 14, 2013 2:33 pm

Wow look at the crop in that little Zoom!!
And then his adventure back into his time out corner.

PeSSouZiX · **Posted:** Tue May 14, 2013 2:36 pm

Zoom is spoiled ^^

3:15pm ET. Cam check. Zoom is sleeping in the corner.

ETA... correction.

I think there is a parent on the nest cam. If I look really close and blow the screen up, I think I can make out the white breast sometimes...
