Hi Debs - and thanks for the updates. I have the cam up but have been focused on other things, so didn't realize they'd been alone so long. I was surprised that one of the adults didn't come in during the foggy spell - but they may be having trouble finding food today.

Added -
Just checked the Maine forum, and there was a feeding at 12:30 pm.


2:59 pm
Cam has zoomed in. I think the chick is looking a bit wet and cold - though they are 2-1/2 weeks old so can regulate their heat to some degree, and it's not all that cold today.

Judyb thanks for checking the feeding time for me; I hope Mom returns soon the kids look cold....they cheeping last 10 minutes or so.

The chicks have been moving about abit and cheeping
they are huddled together side by side in the nest
bowl.

Close ups

2:59 They just zoomed in on nest. I just heard an adult calling.

eta: 3:04 It is raining now, where is mom. I have to go back to work so will be checking in here as often as I can since I can't get the cam on my work computer.

303 pm
They are so sweet sitting side by side
wish Mom would return to the nest.

I am going to record for abit.
These chicks are too young to be left alone
in the rain.



Judy is the nest closer to Bridgton or Bridgewater I forget?

Here is a look at the weather for Bridgton area

Neither, actually - Bar Harbor is probably the closest major town.

Darlene she is there just out of our view....I too wish she would return. I am going to record and watch for awhile....come on Mom!!

Kids are still alone in the nest; quiet right
now.
