Bird Cams Around the World

7:32am
Adult back and no food



And is leaving again

7:51am
Adult back, still no food

This is worrisome especially since you know their routine, bev. I can't watch until this afternoon, unfortunately.

I have sent message to George at site and Gord.

I do not want to jump gun, and if I see feed I will be happy, . cam hard to see right now and I am supposed to go out , but have cancelled .
any help I can get watching, will be helpful, as i do have some things to do in house

8:56am

Adult has just left an hopefully for food

I have been watching since I arrived at work; have not seen any adult. I am worried, because usually someone is on or around the chicks most of the time, usually, and this has not been the case recently.

I do not want to be paranoid but this is not their usual pattern. they have been excellent from incubating till the evening of june18th. If the chicks were as old as Edmonton I would not be as concerned but wee one is 9 days old today.

adult still not back and could very well be siting right outside cam reach but it is cool here

Still no adult. This is such a frustrating situation, as we are not able to do anything. Even if we were out there, the only thing we could do is report the situation to the biologist, we would not be able to rescue the chicks if, indeed, the male is gone. I can no longer tell by looking at the chicks iff they are o.k., or not; one of them does not seem to be moving much. Maybe we are over-worrying, but I would rather over-worry and contact someone in authority than be complacent.

a few shots of chicks

9:51am
Adult still not back

The female just returned, I cannot tell if she has food or not because her back is to the Cam.

The chicks are surrounding her, and she is doing something in there, I can't tell if she is preparing a meal, or what.

there is food and chicks are starved

I feel she was gone for over an hour and caught this herself

10:08am


wish I could see if all were getting enough . We will soon see

but this has to be monitored because I do feel she caught it herself.

I am glad they seem to all getting fed; I am assuming this, because I could not see if everyone got a bite to eat. I am sure you are right, Bev, she caught this herself. Usually the male is around when she is feeding them, and possibly he is there on the outer rung, but I don't think so.

10:16

See a few crops. would like to see youngster
Missed shot of adult leaving.

not out o f woods. have to figure out if we have 2 adults. one can not do this

Adult is in box. This one seems smaller, so I think (I hope!) the male? Bev, I hope you can tell better than me, if you are watching.

adult came back in and is finishing feed. cannot see youngster.

Still worried as we do not knwo if she caught this herself and one feed a day is not enough.

Got a better look, and this is the female.

I am watching and it has just covered chicks and seems like same one as earlier this morning.

now George just e-mailed and said chicks fed but I think we need to look into this
